In this episode, we meet Martina Romio, R&D Scientist at FAAM – a chemist by training and a pioneer by spirit.
After completing her PhD between the UK and Austria, Martina returned to Italy to join FAAM in Teverola, driven by the desire to turn research into impact — and to build the future of energy close to home.
She leads the development of sodium-ion batteries, following the full value chain from anode and cathode design to pouch cell assembly. Her work explores what’s beyond lithium and how to scale next-gen energy solutions.
What drives her? The challenge of the unknown, the excitement of innovation, and the strong sense of family that defines FAAM. From lab to office — always with a cup of tea in hand — Martina brings curiosity, passion, and vision to every project.
