Biography

Dr. Mbaye Diouf received his PhD in 2017 from Cheikh Anta Diop University. He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Engineering Physics Central Connecticut State University, as well as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Brown University School of Engineering. His current and future research will broadly target optics and photonics, including nonlinear optics, space time wave packets, multiphoton microscopy, light sheet microscopy, and supercontinuum laser sources. He is an active member of OPTICA. Trilingual in Wolof, French, and English, Diouf intends to prioritize DEI in his research, teaching, and leadership, particularly for those on the periphery of higher education.
