Following his undergraduate and master studies in mechanical engineering, Hasan gained experience in acoustics, dynamics of structures, mechanics of materials, and mechanical vibrations during his PhD studies at Istanbul Technical University (Turkey) and The Ohio State University (USA) between 2008 and 2013. He developed analytical, computational, and experimental methods for the identification, modelling, and optimisation of structures with damping treatments during his doctoral studies. After working in the industry for a while following his doctoral studies, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher (2014-2016) in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London (United Kingdom). During this period, he investigated the mechanical properties of tissue-mimicking materials based on the use of microbubbles and ultrasound.
Hasan worked as an assistant professor (2016-2017), an associate professor (2017-2022), and a professor (2022-2022) in the Faculty of Engineering at MEF University (Turkey). During this period, he developed mathematical models for the response of soft materials exposed to external forces, pioneered experimental methods to measure viscoelastic properties of soft materials, and explored the acoustic, mechanical, and physical properties of biodegradable materials. He worked as a research associate in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King’s College London (United Kingdom) between December 2022 and December 2023. During this period, he used focused ultrasound and microbubbles to deliver antibodies and liposomes to the brain of mice and used MRI to confirm antibody/liposome delivery into the brain.
Hasan started working as a senior scientist in the Ultrasound and Underwater Acoustics Group at National Physical Laboratory in November 2023. His research activities at National Physical Laboratory include photoacoustic imaging and spectroscopy, elastography, hydrophone calibration, and ultrasound power measurements. He has published more than 35 peer-reviewed journal papers, 2 patent applications/grants, more than 5 book chapters, and more than 25 conference proceedings/abstracts.
