Martina Ussia obtained her PhD in Materials Science and Nanotechnology in Catania. Then she joined as Senior Scientist the Future Energy & Innovation Lab at the Central European Institute of Technology in Czech Republic for two years. Since 2022 she is a Researcher at CNR‐IMM in Catania (Italy), leading a project funded with 150KEUR by European Community for Young Researcher who obtained Seal of Excellence within MSCA call. Her current research is focused on the formulation of micro‐ and nanorobots for water purification applications.
