Dr. David Perpetuini received his B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Marche Polytechnic University, Ancona, Italy, in 2009, an M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from the same university in 2012, and a Ph.D. from the Department of Neuroscience, Imaging, and Clinical Science at the University of Chieti-Pescara, “G. d’Annunzio” in 2017. Since 2018, he has been a research fellow at the Department of Neuroscience, Imaging, and Clinical Sciences of the “G. d'Annunzio” University of Chieti-Pescara. His research work mainly concerns the study of brain activity using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), particularly in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, he is involved in the development of algorithms for the detection of activity in the autonomic nervous system using functional thermal imaging and the state of vascular aging using photoplethysmography.
