Research
Dr. Hassan’s research at Qatar University focuses on developing efficient synthetic approaches based on automated experimentation (robotics) to accelerate the discovery of advanced, smart, and functional semiconductor nanomaterials. His lab at Qatar University involves nanomaterials research, including renewable energy and artificial intelligence applications in materials and applied physics. Hassan’s Lab focuses on innovative and diversified research in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, and Physics. Mainly Hassan’s team work on innovative synthetic approaches for nanoscale materials using Green and Sustainable Chemistry and self-driving automated labs for accelerated thin-film technology, medical imaging, and IR sensors.
The automated experimentation of nanomaterials enables performance and accuracy so high that it can identify new scientific methods and equations and verify ideas that are yet to be explored in science. This research will span fundamental and applied physical and materials chemistry and will result in materials science innovations at Qatar University, the State of Qatar, and worldwide.
Dr. Hassan’s research strategy going forward is to realize the direct integration of NCs in green, sustainable, and conductive dual roles solvents and ligands, in addition to developing automated synthetic approaches using robotics to realize multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials. These materials will have immediate applications in nanophotonics, optoelectronics, wearable electronics, and ultrasensitive sensors.
