Fabrizio Lombardi graduated in 1977 from the University of Essex (UK) with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Electronic Engineering. In 1977 he joined the Microwave Research Unit at University College London, where he received the Master in Microwaves and Modern Optics (1978), the Diploma in Microwave Engineering (1978) and the Ph. D. from the University of London (1982). He is currently the holder of the International Test Conference (ITC) Endowed Chair at Northeastern University, Boston. Currently, Dr. Lombardi is the 2022-2023 President; of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC); in 2021 he was 2nd VP of the IEEE Computer Society (CS). He is also a member of the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board (PSPB) (2019-2023). He was the VP of Publications of the IEEE CS (2019-2020) and the NTC (2020). He has been appointed on Executive Boards of many non-profit organizations (such as Computing-in-the-Core, now code.org the non-partisan advocacy coalition for K-12 Computer Science education) as well as the Computer Society (as an elected two-term member of its Board of Governors (2012-2017)) and the IEEE (as an appointed member of the Future Directions Committee (2014-2017)).
