Fabrizio Esposito is M.Sc. in Electronics Engineering (2000) and Ph. D. in Neuroscience (2004). Since 2020, he is Full Professor of Bioengineering at University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” (Naples, Italy) and Director of the “Brain Imaging” Laboratory at the University Hospital “Policlinico Luigi Vanvitelli” (Naples, Italy). Between 2013 and 2020, he has been Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Salerno (Italy) and Director of the “Advanced MR Research Program” at the University Hospital “S. Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d’Aragona” in Salerno (Italy). Between 2006 and 2012, he has been Assistant and Associate Professor of Neuroimaging Methods at Maastricht University (The Netherlands). His research projects concern the study of physiological and pathological mechanisms underlying the in-vivo observation of neuronal networks in humans using neuroimaging methods with special focus on (f)MRI and computational and statistical methods for brain imaging. Until February 2026, he has co-authored 286 in-extenso articles on peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus (H-index: 56. Citations: 12405) and more than 450 publications (including conference proceedings). He has been awarded the “Harold G. Wolff Award” (American Headache Society, 2020), the “Pfizer Research Award 2004” (Section: Neuroscience) and the Neuroscientific Honorable Mention at the Pittsburgh Brain Activity Interpretation Competition (2007).
