Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering

Biography

Hubert Msuya earned his Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering and Information Technologies from the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) in 2013 and a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Science and Communications from the same institution in 2008. His MSc research focused on enhancing internet laboratories by integrating a low-cost switching system into the NI ELVIS II+ iLab Shared Architecture platform. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Electronics Engineering and Information Technology at UDSM, with a research focus on model parameter compression strategies for multimodal deep learning-based models.

Msuya joined UDSM's Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (ETE) Department as a Tutorial Assistant in 2009 and currently serves as an Assistant Lecturer. His responsibilities include teaching undergraduate (UG) students, supervising final-year UG projects, conducting academic research, and offering consulting and public services. Additionally, he served as the departmental examination officer from 2013 to 2018.

His research interests include image processing, e-learning—specifically the development of online laboratories for ICT-mediated electrical and electronics experiments—and deep neural networks, with a focus on parameter compression algorithms for multimodal deep-learning-based models. He has contributed to several research projects at UDSM, including: The iLab Africa Project (2009–2013), WB STHEP1-AF (Enhancing secondary school science and mathematics teaching through ICT, 2014–2016), Africa Digital School Initiatives (2017–2018), and Signal Processing Research Group (SPRG) Projects.

Msuya teaches a range of undergraduate courses, including Fundamentals of Signals and Systems, Electronic Control, Digital Signal Processing, Digital Electronics Practical, and Practical in Electronics.

He has also participated in numerous career-development workshops, including: Animation using Action Script 3.0 (Nairobi, Kenya, January 2015), Software Defined Radio Training (CoICT, UDSM, Tanzania, April 2014), Advanced Wireless Technologies Training (CoICT, UDSM, Tanzania, December 2013), Online Laboratory Workshop (Makerere University, Uganda, July 2011), ISA Usage for Online Labs Training (MIT, USA, April–May 2011), Moodle Learning Management System Training (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, January 2011), International Workshop on iLab (Makerere University, Uganda, November 2009). 

Apart from his academic activities, Hubert Msuya is also involved actively in live sound engineering, providing professional audio services for different events and concerts. His expertise includes sound system setup, mixing, and audio optimization to ensure high-quality sound production for live performances, corporate events, and other public gatherings.
