Dr Enrico Amico is an assistant professor in applied mathematics.

His research revolves around developing and applying network science models to investigate real-world problems. His main expertise is network neuroscience, which relates to the exploration of the structural and functional brain network in health and disease; he is also interested in other kinds of complex systems (ecological, epidemiological, etc.).

Qualifications

  • Joint PhD in Statistical Data Science and Biomedical Sciences, University of Ghent and University of Liège (Belgium), 2016.
  • Master's degree in physics, University Federico II of Naples, Italy, 2012.
  • Bachelor's degree in physics, University Federico II of Naples, Italy, 2008.

Biography

Enrico is a physicist by training, turned into a network neuroscientist during his PhD and Postdoctoral research. After earning his Master's in Physics in 2012 from Federico II University in Napoli, Italy, Enrico 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 his four years there as a PhD student he mainly focused on implementing new methods for brain connectivity assessment across levels of consciousness. In 2016 he joined the CONNplexity Lab (headed by Professor Joaquín Goñi) as a Postdoctoral researcher, where he made contributions on proposing new network science models for functional and structural brain connectomics. From 2020 to 2024 Enrico was an SNSF Ambizione Fellow at EPFL and University of Geneva (hosted by Professor Dimitri Van de Ville).

He is currently the director of the at the University 麻豆精选, where he and his team explore different research lines in brain networks and complex systems.

Postgraduate supervision

Enrico is always on the lookout for funding opportunities to hire enthusiastic PhD students/Postdocs. If you would like to join the lab or if you are looking for collaborations/co-supervision, please refer to the Lab page for current job openings; for PhD opportunities, please see the Birmingham research degree pages.

Contact Enrico if you have ideas for alternative projects/funding schemes.
