Dr. Ahmed Hassan is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Architectural Engineering, at UAE University. He has a Ph.D. in thermal management of building integrated photovoltaics (Mechanical Engineering) from the Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland, and an M.Sc. in Energy Systems Engineering from Aachen University of Applied Sciences Germany. His research interests are efficiency enhancement techniques for photovoltaic systems, Integration of passive cooling systems in buildings, and the development of novel passive cooling systems for high density heat release systems and green facades. He is currently involved in various internally and externally funded research projects in Building Integrated Photovoltaics, Application of phase change materials in buildings, Phase change cooling of IC packaging, Impact of education technology on indoor climate, and assessment of green façade on the energy performance of buildings. He has been involved in teaching Integrated Design Studio focusing on integrating passive and sustainable energy technologies in building design and Building Technical installations focusing on designing HVAC systems for buildings. He has supervised various graduation projects focused on sustainable energy technologies in buildings. He has presented his research at international conferences and is in the process of publishing in international journals. He is currently a reviewer of various international journals related to sustainable energy.
