Sandy Stevens Tickodri-Togboa, PhD, born on 29th October 1949 and married to Dr. Edith Natukunda-Togboa[1] with whom he has three children, is an Engineering Scientist and Professor, with vast Research, Teaching and Administrative Experiences. His spearheading research in the fields of Academic Records Management, Vehicle Design[2], electronic Academic Scheduling Systems, internet laboratories especially at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda has made him quite the celebrity within the academia. Recently in February 2010 he was awarded professorship at Makerere University[3]) where he currently is the Deputy Vice Chancellor - Finance and Administration.
Sandy holds a technical PhD in Digital Communications (1985) and M.Sc. in Radio Engineering (1979). He is proficient in English, Russian, Lugbara(mother tongue) and Kiswahili.
Sandy's key scientific works to date have included providing methodologies for the construction of Generating Functions based on Algebraic Operations on Sequences and its Application to Bessel Functions. Not only that, Sandy is greatly interested and involved in research[4] on the links between the potential energy due to a unit point charge, the generating function and Rodrigues' Formula for Legendre Polynomials. To this end Sandy has published a great number of papers in internationally reputable journals.

Research Activities and Accomplishments
Academic Records Management Systems
The Academic Records Management Systems (ARMS) Project aims at the development of a comprehensive user-centric Academic Records Management System to support Makerere University's logical and physical academic infrastructure, using state-of-the-art technologies and current generation industrial aesthetics. A home-born-and-grown project, it incorporates the provision of relevant learning experiences for students in the Faculty of Technology[5]; offers Eperiential Learning (Equal Opportunities for Girl and Boy Child) and adds Value to the Pedagogical Experience. The ARMS Project Team is comprised of thirteen undergraduate students (five females and eight males), and one junior member of staff. The System is currently being piloted in the Faculty of Technology and will eliminate the current challenges of inaccurate and delayed transcripts.
Electronic Academic-Events Scheduling System
The Electronic Academic-Events Scheduling System (eAESS) Project is aimed at the development of an eAESS - state-of-the-art, needs-responsive, scheduling system using the Faculty of Technology as the development and test site. The eAESS is envisaged to go a long way in addressing the current challenges in scheduling and to build a robust timetabling system. The system will consist of three major sub-systems, namely; the Online Scheduling System, the Information Display System and the Uninterrupted Power Sub-System. The Online Scheduling System will enable lecturers to book time-slots and be allocated rooms subject to class size and other necessary academic resources. The Information Display System will be used to flaunt compiled schedules, notices and other communications from the administration. The Uninterrupted Power Sub-System will ensure round-the-clock availability. The Project Team includes three undergraduate students (two males and one female) and one juniour member of staff.
iLABS
This project is being undertaken in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, with the goal of developing internet (on-line) Laboratories (iLABS[6]) to supplement conventional laboratories in the effort to meet challenges of scarce financial resources and large student populations. The project engages undergraduate and graduatestudents, and Members of Staff in research geared towards development of online experiments. iLabs offer a flexible and convinient experimentation platform to an unlimited number of users; thus alleviating space and scheduling problems associated with increasing student numbers. The current core development team is comprised of eighteen undergraduate students (nine male and nine female), two undergraduate studenta and three juniour members of Staff. The Project has so far developed over twelve iLabs and working closely with the Electrical Engineering Department these labs have been integrated into the B.Sc.Electrical Engineering and B.Sc.Telecommunications Engineering Programmes to provide experimentation experience to students. Soon these will be incorporated in the B.Sc.Computer Engineering Programme.
Vehicle Design
The Makerere Vehicle Design Project, Center for Research in Transportation Technologies (CRTT), is one of the main innovative projects at the Faculty of Technology, Makerere University. Its main goal is to build and later bring to market an energy efficient electric vehicle with Makerere University campus as a test site. The project was inspired by the Vehicle Design summit (VDS[7]) Project, a brainchild of [[Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyCambridge, Massachusetts, USA, in which a group of Faculty of Technology, Makerere University, students partcipated in building a hybrid vehicle prototype. Its research is fuelled by the desire to innovate and impact on society by applying current space technologies in solving current transport and energy constraints. The project team comprises of six undergraduate students (four male and two female) and three junior members of staff.
