Renato Ferrero graduated in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 2004, and later received his PhD degree in Computer and System Engineering from the same university in 2012. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Dipartimento di Automatica e Informatica, Politecnico di Torino. His research interests concern ubiquitous computing, a paradigm of human-computer interaction aiming at integrating the technology into everyday objects to share and process information. In particular, Renato’s activity is focused on wireless networks, including RFID systems and wireless sensor networks, which have a key role in the development of ubiquitous computing. Renato has investigated the models of the interference among readers in a RFID system and he has developed some TDMA protocols to mitigate its effects. The studies on wireless sensor networks cover different topics, such as node deployment, energy optimization, and routing protocols. Recent application fields include smart cities, with the deployment of a sensor network for environmental monitoring, and healthcare, with the study of a body area network for gait analysis and fall prevention. Renato Ferrero has published as author and co-author about 60 papers, of which more than 20 in international journals. According to Google Scholar, in January 2020 he has more than 500 citations, with an h-index of 12. According to Scopus, the number of citations are 354, with an h-index of 10. He is the co-inventor of one patent. Since 2019, he is the Associate Editor of IEEE Access and the editor of PoliTO Springer Series. He served or is serving as a guest editor for 5 international journals and as a reviewer for about 30 international journals and 7 international conferences. In January 2020, the number of verified reviews on Publons is 114. Renato Ferrero was a visiting researcher at the Department of Communications and Information Technologies of Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (Spain) in 2011 (from September 5th to December 7th). He taught a PhD course about ubiquitous computing at Technische Universitat Wien in 2017. He is a member of IEEE since 2012 and of IEEE’s Technical Committee on RFID (CRFID) since 2014. He won the Best Paper Award at the 6th International Conference of Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications (BWCCA 2011).
