Summary
Dr. Hassan Anwer has a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea. He worked on Korean National Science Foundation projects to develop nanomaterials for water/air purification, green energy, and drug delivery applications. Dr. Anwer is currently working as an assistant professor in the department of Environmental Engineering. He has extensive experience in curriculum development and has successfully introduced multiple new courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has published more than 20 impact factor articles having over 1000 citations. He is working on a UNESCO funded project as principal investigator to develop slow-release fertilizers. His research endeavors are directed towards advancing the indigenous manufacturing of technologies for water/air purification, green energy generation, anti-microbial films, light conversion materials, biocompatible coatings, and nano-capsules for controlled release/delivery of chemicals.
