General
Background
Dr. Nur Hassan is a Discipline leader and a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at CQUniversity. He has wide experience in the experimental study and numerical simulation of engineering problems, particularly in fluid flow systems, heat transfer, renewable energy, especially Green Hydrogen energy production, storage, fuel cell, and transportation. He has supervised 3 Ph.D. students to completion and currently, he has been supervising 4 RHD students in these areas. Dr. Hassan has published 70 scientific articles in reputed journals (among 29 of them in journals) and conferences including 3 edited books and 9 book chapters. He is a recipient of a Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Exemplary Practice in L & and T, in 2021and a Vice-Chancellor’s Publication Recognition Award in 2016, and an associate vice-chancellor’s (Cairns) Quiet Achiever Award in 2016 and 2017. He is a member of the Engineers of Australia and has a Chartered Professional Engineer in Mechanical Engineering and a professional member of RPEQ. He has been serving as an Editorial Manager and a member of the Editorial Board, Energy Journal, Elsevier (IF:7.147). He is a member of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society, the Australian Society of Rheology, and the Australasian Association of Engineering Education. He is a member of the Cairns Academic Leadership committee and the School of Engineering and Technology Indigenisation Committee and actively participates in Indigenising the Curriculum Community of Practice at CQUniversity.
