Fabrizio Reale was born in Naples, Italy, in 1978. He got his "Laurea" degree (M.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering in 2003 and in 2007, he earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Systems Engineering, both from the University of Naples Federico II. Between 2007 and 2008, he served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Naples. From 2008 to 2012, he continued his postdoctoral work at the Istituto Motori of CNR in Naples. Since 2012, he has been a researcher at the CNR, working at the Institute of Sciences and Technologies for Sustainable Energy and Mobility - STEMS (formerly Istituto Motori). From 2019 to 2021, he was chair of the IGTI ASME TURBO EXPO Microturbines, Turbochargers & Small Turbomachines committee, for which he previously served as the vanguard chair (2017-2019). Currently he serves as an expert evaluator for the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy assessing project proposals on energy and mobility. He has been peer reviewer for prominent journals within his research field and he is within the reviewer board of the 3.2 IF journal Energies. He is the head of research unit for the project Bio-FIRed IC Engines for off-grid Electric VEhicles ChaRging Stations, funded under the framework of the Italian Research Projects of National Interest (PRIN). His current primary research areas include numerical modelling of WHR and integrated energy systems based on gas turbines, ORC, sCO2 gas turbines and of MGTs fuelled with biofuels or hydrogen-methane blends.
