A retired U.S. Foreign Service officer, Martin focused much of his career on China. His final U.S. State Department appointment was as deputy chief of mission in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. Earlier, he was consul general in Guangzhou. Trained in both Cantonese and Mandarin, Martin also served in Taiwan and Hong Kong. His other overseas postings included assignments in the Philippines, as deputy chief of mission and as a political military officer, and in Burma, as a consular officer.

During assignments in Washington, D.C., Martin was special assistant to the deputy secretary of State; special assistant to former SAIS Dean Paul D. Wolfowitz, then-assistant secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs; deputy director of the Office of Chinese and Mongolian Affairs; Burma desk officer; and a congressional fellow.
From 2003 to 2007, Eugene Martin was executive director of USIP’s Philippine Facilitation Project, which aimed to further the peace process between the government and the MILF. He has also served the Director of the Washington Office of Johns Hopkins University’s Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies.

Raised in India, Martin received his bachelor’s degree in political science and economics from Kalamazoo College in Michigan. He completed graduate work in international relations, with a focus on China and East Asia, at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.
