Dr. Charles Nche is the former Dean of the Graduate School at the American University of Nigeria. Dr. Nche earned his Ph.D. in Computer networks from Loughborough University of Technology, United Kingdom. He holds an Electrical and Electronics Engineering degree and a Master’s degree in Digital Communication Systems. Before joining AUN, he was a consultant for the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organization (CTO).
He has over 9 years of experience in academia and over 17 years working in industries, for the likes of NemeriX, Broadcom, Marconi, Mitel, and Coe Ltd. During this period, he has been involved with the design of GPS receivers for Satellite Navigation systems, VOIP, physical layer protocols including ATM and SDH, Photonic DWDM networks. At AUN, he was very instrumental in creating Executive Master Programs to bring extra income to AUN. He played a key role in the creation of the Graduate School and the School of Engineering, dealing with the accreditation body in Nigeria (NUC).
Also at AUN, He held many administrative positions including; Chair of Telecom & Wireless Department, Chair of Computer Science and Software Department, and Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. He has taught Telecommunication, Computer Science, Electrical & Electronics and Maths courses at the undergraduate level and Telecommunication and Computer Science courses at the graduate level. He has also developed courses and syllabi in the School of Graduate Studies, School of Information Technology and Computing, and School of Engineering at AUN. He has supervised various Masters and Ph. Ds dissertations and theses respectively. Dr. Nche has published several peer-reviewed journals and conferences. He works well with students, faculty, staff, and the management team. He is self-motivated, dedicated, and works well in a team situation.
