Fausto Martelli (born March 27, 1982) is an Italian physicist based in the United Kingdom. He is a senior research scientist at IBM Research Europe since 2018[1] and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Manchester since 2022. He previously held a position of faculty associate researcher at the Department of Chemistry, Princeton University. His background is in the physics and chemistry of disordered materials with a focus on the properties of soft matter.

Born on March 27, 1982, in Bergamo, Italy, he obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Milan.

Early life and education[edit]

Martelli was born in Bergamo in 1982. He graduated from the University of Milan in 2005 and obtained his PhD from the same institution in 2010 on a joint project with the Ecole normale superieure of Paris. Martelli spent two years as a researcher at the University of Evry and five years at Princeton University. In 2018 he was appointed at IBM Research. He was elected Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor at the University of Bristol in 2019, where he gave a public talk[2] on the anomalous behaviours of water, and Honorary Lecturer from the University of Manchester in 2022.

Honors and awards[edit]

Martelli is fellow of the Institute of Physics[3] and fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.[4] Martelli is an IBM Senior Inventor, a title awarded by IBM in recognition of proficiency in the patent process, mentoring other IBMers in the patent process, adding value to IBM's portfolio and innovation leadership and service. Martelli was Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor at the University of Bristol and is Honorary Lecturer at the University of Manchester.
