Dr. Hasan taught many undergraduate classes in Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering and Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of New Mexico. He has research experience in the interaction of inorganic contaminants with mineral surfaces, colloidal transport of radioactive and metal contaminants and their applications to remediation, physicochemical characterization of soil and mineral surfaces, and radionuclide migration. Past research has included the investigation of some radionuclides of environmental interests with different types of soils and rocks. Research interests included Low- and high-level radioactive waste disposal, conditioning of radioactive waste, radiation protection, and subsurface contaminant transport.
Other research program includes hazardous and mixed waste; performance assessment of the high-level radioactive waste repositories; colloidal transport of contaminants and; disposal of Greater-than-Class C radioactive waste.
His research area of Contaminant Transport encompassed the physics and chemistry of the fate and transport of contaminants in aquifers. He has accumulated laboratory experience in purchasing, installing, and operating analytical equipment including colloid characterization equipment.
Recent experience includes Integrated Management of Radioactive Sealed Sources (IMPRSS); a Cradle-to-Grave management of radioactive sources ensures the safety and security of sources during its life cycle. Experienced in many technical issues related to safety and security of radioactive sealed sources. Current experience also is related to developing an Integrated Model for Sustainable Development (IMSD), an innovative approach that addresses the energy-water-environment nexus.
He supervised more than 55 international fellows who received their training in many areas such as disposal of low- and high-level radioactive waste, decommissioning and decontamination, and water and wastewater treatment.
