معرفی
Dr. Hassan Ali is an Associate Professor and Programme Director of the MSc Renewable Energy Engineering at the School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham Dubai. He holds a PhD in Condensation Heat Transfer from Queen Mary, University of London (2013), and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila, Pakistan (2007). He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), UK.
His research focuses on condensation heat transfer, nanofluids, indirect evaporative cooling, and sustainable energy systems. He has pioneered work on Marangoni condensation of steam-ethanol mixtures and developed prototypes for sustainable air conditioning systems. His interdisciplinary approach addresses technical, economic, and social challenges in renewable energy and decarbonization, particularly in UAE higher education and industry contexts.
Dr. Ali has over 15 years of academic leadership experience, having initiated engineering programs and held mid/senior management roles. His teaching spans fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, renewable energy systems, and carbon accounting. He currently leads projects on policy guidelines for UAE building retrofits and embodied carbon calculation standards (TM 65). His work bridges academic research with industrial applications, emphasizing energy efficiency and sustainability.
His publications (over 40 papers) explore topics like nanofluid heat transfer, evaporative cooling optimization, and phase change material systems. Notable collaborations include work with UAE industry partners on decarbonization strategies and water efficiency initiatives.
