🎤 Finapp Microphone Episode 4: Meet Martina Mamone We are back with a new episode of Finapp Microphone, introducing the people behind Finapp’s success. Meet Martina Mamone, Chemical Specialist in our Production department. Martina has been part of Finapp for 7 months, bringing her expertise in chemistry from her master’s in industrial chemistry and PhD in Chemistry with honors. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a hairdresser, but her passion for chemistry led her to the lab and now to Finapp. She believes innovation happens when fields like physics and chemistry collaborate, showing the importance of interdisciplinarity. Her favourite part of working at Finapp is being in a constantly evolving company that values new ideas. If she could lead a project beyond her field, it would focus on landslide and wildfire prevention. Martina looks forward to exploring the world, balancing a brilliant career with family life, and being part of Finapp’s fantastic team. #Finapp #FinappMicrophone #TeamFinapp #CRNS

New installation in South Korea with Seoul National University (SNU)! We are proud to announce a new CRNS installation in collaboration with Prof. Sangjun Im from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Bioresources, Forest Engineering Laboratory at Seoul National University. This project serves as a pre-test of the application of CRNS technology to forest areas, focusing on regions with a high risk of wildfires and landslides. For this purpose, the CRNS system was installed in the Taehwasan University Forest, part of the Seoul National University Forests. Finapp’s technology enables real-time, large-scale, and non-contact monitoring of soil moisture, an essential factor in understanding and mitigating environmental risks such as wildfires and landslides. We are excited to see the results of this collaboration and its contribution to forest management and safety in South Korea. #Finapp #CRNS #SoilMoisture #SouthKorea #SeoulNationalUniversity #EnvironmentalMonitoring #Landslide #Wildfire
