Fabio Giannattasio obtained his PhD in Astrophysics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in 2013 with a thesis on Solar Physics. From 2014 to 2016 he has been a PostDoc fellow at "Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma" (OAR) and at the Space Institute for Astrophysics and Planetology (IAPS), part of the "Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica" (INAF), where he worked on the spectropolarimetric observations of the solar atmosphere, the dynamic properties of solar magnetic field at small scales, and the Sun-Earth interactions.

Since the end of 2016 he is a Researcher at the "Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia" (INGV) in Rome. His research activity is focused on the study of phenomena that are relevant for Space Weather: some aspects inherent to the physics of the solar atmosphere, the ionospheric turbulence, the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling.
