Dr. Hasan, joined UAP in 2015 as an Assistant Professor, with specialization on Environmental Engineering, in the department of Civil Engineering. Just after the completion of PhD at 2014, he started his career in academia as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering in University of Information Technology & Sciences (UITS), Dhaka. Later he was entrusted with the position of Head of the Department. In addition to academia he has experience in working as an Assistant Engineer at Department of Public Health Engg. (DPHE), in the project namely Bangladesh Water Supply Program Project (BWSPP) funded by World Bank. His work was extended to the Planning Division, DPHE afterwards. He also has international working experiences for instance Tepia Corporation Japan and Kankyosoken Co. Ltd., Japan.
Dr. Hasan has been working and doing research in the environmental sector for over 10 years. His research interests include: Environmental sanitation, Fecal sludge management, Water supply, Water and wastewater (domestic and industrial) treatment, Environmental pollution control, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Environmental management.
During his six years research journey in Ritsumeikan University, Japan, he worked under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jun Nakajima to develop a Simple Ceramic Filter (SCF) made of clay soil (80%) and rice bran (20%) and also to investigate its sustainable applications in water and wastewater treatment processes. Besides lab-scale experiments, extensive field test results in Bangladesh rural areas confirmed that the developed SCF could remove more than 99% of arsenic from groundwater. The SCF also successfully applied for treating wastewater in Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) process and Waste Stabilization Pond (WSP) process. His pioneer PhD research findings were published in different peer-reviewed journals and presented at various international conferences as well as national level conferences and received different prestigious awards and honors and also got recognition through several media coverage in Japan. Currently Dr. Hasan working on Sanitation, Water Quality Indices (WQI), River water quality, Dhaka city lake water, Wastewater treatment using duckweed etc.
He has a number of publications internationally acclaimed peer reviewed journals namely Desalination, Water Science and Technology: Water Supply, Environmental Technology & Innovation, Water Environment Research, Journal of Water and Environment Technology (JWET), Environmental Engineering Research.
Dr. Hasan completed several training programs, workshops, attended seminars that include: Urban Rainwater Harvesting System, Fecal Sludge and Septage Management, Bangladesh Water Security, Water Safety Plan, Participatory Management of Low-Cost Water Supply and Sanitation etc.
Dr. Hasan was a member of the Self-Assessment Committee till 2018 and actively participating in the implementation of the Outcome Based Education (OBE) in the department.
Dr. Hasan is a life fellow of the Institute of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB), Bangladesh.
