Researcher profile

Enrico Amico

I am a physicist by training, turned into a computational neuroscientist during my PhD and Postdoctoral research. After earning my Master's in Physics in 2012 from Federico II University in Napoli, Italy, I decided to follow my passion for the scientific study of consciousness. I enrolled in a joint PhD program between the Coma Science Group of Prof. Steven Laureys, University of Liège, and the Marinazzo Lab at the University of Ghent, Belgium. During my four years there as a PhD student I mainly focused on implementing new methods for brain connectivity assessment across levels of consciousness. In 2016 I joined the CONNplexity Lab (headed by Prof. Joaquín Goñi) as a Postdoctoral researcher, where I made contributions on proposing new network science models for functional and structural brain connectomics. From 2020 to 2024, I was an SNSF Ambizione Fellow at EPFL, where I was Principal Investigator on different research lines in brain networks and brain connectomics. I am currently Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham & CHBH, where I lead my own lab on different research lines in network neuroscience and complex systems.
