Anna Martinelli

Anna Martinelli is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering's Applied Chemistry division. She holds a Master's in Physics and a PhD in Materials Science from Chalmers, focusing on ion-conducting polymer materials. Her research group explores ionic liquids' physico-chemical properties for applications in green energy conversion systems, such as fuel cells. Key techniques include Raman spectroscopy, NMR, and SAXS. She leads projects funded by grants from the Hasselbald Foundation, SSF, and VR.

Education: MSc in Physics (Italy/Sweden), PhD in Materials Science (Chalmers). Postdoctoral research at University of Rome La Sapienza and INP-Grenoble. Current projects include structural battery electrolytes and sustainable energy materials.

Research interests: Ionic liquid mixtures, nanoconfined systems, and advanced materials for energy storage. Supervised students include Sanna Björkegren and Rose Fassihi on emulsion membrane projects. Active in developing in situ fuel cell characterization methods.
