Doctoral Lecturer | NYC College of Technology | United States
Dr. Ahmed Y. Hassebo, Ph.D., P.E., is an accomplished electrical engineering educator and researcher with over fourteen years of teaching experience across leading U.S. institutions, including the City University of New York (CUNY), Purdue University Northwest (PNW), and Wentworth Institute of Technology (WIT). Currently serving as a Doctoral Lecturer at NYC College of Technology–CUNY, Dr. Hassebo has made significant contributions in the domains of telecommunications, signal processing, smart cities, and Internet of Things (IoT)-based systems. His academic foundation is rooted in a Ph.D. and M.Phil. in Electrical Engineering from the City College of New York, supported by a strong research portfolio emphasizing the integration of 4G/5G communication infrastructures with mission-critical IoT and smart grid applications. He has authored a book, multiple book chapters, and several peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, earning multiple Best Paper and Best Presentation Awards from IEEE and ASEE conferences. His published works in Urban Science and IoT journals underscore his global perspective on smart city transformation and sustainable urban connectivity. Beyond research, Dr. Hassebo has mentored undergraduate and high school students in projects funded by NSF, NASA, and CUNY initiatives, fostering interdisciplinary learning in AI, robotics, and embedded systems. His active role as an IEEE reviewer, ASEE session chair, and committee member at CityTech demonstrates his leadership in both academic governance and scholarly service. Holding a Professional Engineer (PE) license in Electrical and Computer Engineering, he continues to pursue research excellence through grant proposals such as NSF Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) and CUNY GRTI initiatives. With over 8 years of research experience and a growing academic impact—reflected in multiple citations and collaborations—Dr. Hassebo exemplifies a commitment to advancing smart technologies that enhance urban sustainability, education, and global digital transformation.
