Barbara M. Masini received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in Telecommunications Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic, Computer Science and Telecommunication engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 2001 and 2005, respectively.

She is Senior Researcher at the Institute for Electronics and for Information and Telecommunications Engineering (IEIIT) of the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy.

She works in the area of wireless communication systems and her research interests are mainly focused on vehicular networks, facing new challenges from physical and MAC aspects up to the applications and real field trial implementations. Research is also focused on relay assisted communications, energy harvesting and on theoretical and experimental activities dealing with visible light communication.

She has coordination responsibilities in a number of international and national research projects.

She is Editor of IEEE Access and Elsevier Computer Communication, Lead Guest Editor of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, Special Issue on Vehicular Networks for Mobile Crowd Sensing (2015), Lead Guest Editor of Mobile Information Systems, Special Issue on Connected Vehicles: Applications and Communication Challenges (2017) and Guest Editor of Sensors, Special Issue on Sensor Networks for Smart Roads.

She has been organizer and tutorial instructor at IEEE ISWCS 2017, Bologna, Italy: “Next Generation Vehicular Networks (When Vehicles will Talk to Each Other)”.
She has been invited tutorial Instructor at the IEEE ComSoc School, Marrakesh, Morocco, 2019: “Cellular V2X for Cooperative Connected and Autonomous Vehicles”.
She has been invited speaker at the I-RIM conference, Rome, Italy, 2019 on the field of connected and automated vehicles.
She is author of an invited paper at IEEE VTC 2017 fall, Toronto: “Radio Access for Future 5G Vehicular Networks”.

She is also adjunct Professor at the University of Bologna and involved in teaching activity in several post-laurea courses.

She is member of IEEE since 2002, IEEE senior member since 2019, member of IEEE Communication Society since 2006 and IEEE Vehicular Technology Society in 2011 and since 2013. She serves as Secretary of the Italian Chapter IEEE VTS/Com Soc.
