Maria Luisa Merani received both the M.Sc. (summa cum laude) and the Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 1987 and 1992, respectively. In 1991 she spent one year at the Computer Science Department of the University of California in Los Angeles. Since 1993 she is with the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where she is currently an associate professor.
In the past, her research interests have spanned over the area of radio communications, with emphasis on wireless multimedia. At present she is involved in research on peer-to-peer systems for live video streaming and on congestion control of multimedia flows.
Dr. Merani has been very active within the Technical Program Committee of several flagship international conferences (IEEE Globecom, IEEE ICC, IEEE WCNC, IEEE ISSSTA, IEEE PIMRC). She served as the technical program co-chair for the 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems 2005 (ISWCS’05) and for IEEE Globecom 2007.
She is currently the guest editor of a special issue of the Springer journal "P2P networking and applications" focused on peer-to-peer for video delivery and one of the authors of the Springer book "Handbook of P2P networking". She is one of the technical chairs of IEEE Globecom 2009 and the general chair of the IEEE International Wireless Pervasive Computing Conference in 2010. In October 2009 Cambridge University Press published her book "Hands on networking: from theory to practice".
Dr. Merani is an IEEE Senior Member and an editor of the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications.
