Assane Gueye is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Carnegie Mellon University Africa (CMU Africa) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, part of the College of Engineering. He previously held a faculty position at the ICT Department of the University Alioune Diop of Bambey, Senegal, where he leads the TIC4Dev research group. He also holds a guest researcher role at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the USA. Gueye earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley (2011) and a Master’s in Communication Systems Engineering from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland (2004).
His research focuses on two core areas: 1) performance evaluation and security of large-scale communication systems, and 2) ICT for Development (ICT4D), particularly in African contexts. His work includes projects on privacy-preserving mobile money systems, rural connectivity solutions, federated learning for healthcare, and software security vulnerability analysis. He has contributed to initiatives such as the MIRA project measuring internet resilience in Africa and the design of low-cost infrastructure for digital public goods.
Key awards include being named a Next Einstein Forum Fellow (2016) and an inaugural EAI Fellow (2019). His articles reflect a focus on interdisciplinary solutions for underserved regions, with recent work emphasizing cybersecurity in financial systems, healthcare innovation via federated learning, and infrastructure democratization in space-based communications. He actively collaborates with global institutions to address challenges in technology access and security in developing economies.
