Fausto Martelli           

I am a Research Staff Member working in the field of Statistical Mechanics of liquids, ices and and 
(biological) glasses. In 2019 I was nominated "Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor" at the Institute 
for Advanced Study at the University of Bristol and, since 2020, I am a researcher at the
Institute of Complex System at the Department of Physics, Sapienza University of Rome.
I am currently an IBM University Ambassador.

I received a BSc and a MSc in theoretical chemistry from the Universita` degli Studi di Milano, Italy, 
where I received a PhD in collaboration with the Ecole normale superieure in Paris for a project aimed 
at developing a model to study exciton transfer in dissipative media. After graduation, I joined the CNRS 
in Paris as a postdoctoral scholar with a 2-year fellowship, developing classical potentials to describe the 
interaction of water with heavy ions of interest in the nuclear industry. Afterwards, I moved to 
Princeton University (USA) as a 4-years postdoctoral associate in the group of Prof. Roberto Car. 
Here I worked in understanding the properties of water under extreme thermodynamic conditions. 
After this postdoc, I was appointed to Faculty Associate Researcher at Princeton University, where I stayed
for one year befor joining IBM Research.
