Martha Constantinou

Martha Constantinou is a physicist from Cyprus who works in the US as an associate professor of physics at Temple University. Her research focuses on theoretical and computational nuclear physics, using lattice QCD.

Education and career Constantinou was educated in physics at the University of Cyprus, where she received a bachelor's degree in 2003 and completed her Ph.D. in 2008. She continued there as a postdoctoral fellow from 2008 to 2011, and as a research associate from 2012 to 2015. Meanwhile, she took an assistant professorship at Temple University in 2012. In 2024, she was named as vice-chair of the university's physics department.

Recognition In 2023, Temple University named Constantinou as their Italia-Eire Foundation Distinguished Teacher of the Year.

Constantinou was named as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2025, after a nomination from the APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics, "for outstanding contributions to the understanding of the structure of hadrons through first-principles calculations in lattice QCD, and for significant leadership in the nuclear physics community".
