My research interests are in the area of ICT4D. More specifically, I focus on IoT, wireless sensor networks and their applications in Developing Countries. The use of wireless sensor networks in developing regions has a great role to play not only to expedite novel solutions that help mitigate development problems, but also to facilitate research activities in crucial scientific areas such as environmental monitoring, physics of complex systems and energy management.
I am a Research Officer at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics where I am part of the Telecommunications and ICT4D Lab of the Applied Physics Unit. I am also a Visiting Professor at Kobe Institute of Computing (KIC) in Kobe, Japan.
I have organized workshops and lectured in activities in 35 countries: Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, India, Benin, Namibia, South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, Trinidad, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tunisia, Senegal, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Japan, Micronesia, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Bolivia, Argentina, Mauritius, Seychelles, Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Comoros, Colombia, Nepal, Uganda and Myanmar.
