Bruce H. Krogh is professor emeritus of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and currently digital engagement lead for the Center for Inclusive Digital Transformation of Africa at CMU-Africa. His interest in the digital transformation of Africa began in 2012 when he moved to Kigali to work for six years as founding director of CMU-Africa. Before returning to CMU-Africa in December 2024, he led the IEEE Continu>ED initiative to develop continuing education resources for technical professionals in Africa.

Throughout his career, Krogh’s teaching, research, and industrial consulting focused on the design and implementation of algorithms and embedded software for control of robotic, automotive, aeronautical, energy, and manufacturing automation systems. Before joining Carnegie Mellon in 1983, he developed algorithms and control software for utility energy control centers as a systems engineer at Westinghouse Corporation. He received the Presidential Young Investigator Award from the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Senior U.S. Scientist Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. He held visiting faculty appointments in Germany and France and served on the technical staff of Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute.
