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 have organized workshops in more than 30 countries and have been Focal Point for the ITU Centre of Excellence in IoT, Big Data and Statistics. I have been a Staff Associate of the African Centre of Excellence in Internet of Things at University of Rwanda since its inception. In 2013 I have been nominated Sensemaking Senior Research Fellow of the MIT International Development Initiative and have been a member of the UNESCO Chair in ICT4D since 2004. I am an IEEE Senior Member and an ACM Senior Member.
