Biografi/ Biography :
Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Hassimi Abu Hasan is the Head of the Centre for Sustainable Process Technology (CESPRO) at the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). He is a leading figure in the development of innovative and cost-effective methods for water and wastewater treatment and resource recovery. His research focuses on technologies such as coagulation/flocculation, phytoremediation, phycoremediation, and biofiltration.
Dr. Hassimi currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Environmental Engineering Education (E3) Specialized Group under the International Water Association (IWA). From 2019 to 2023, he represented South Asia as a Young Water Professional (YWP) for the IWA’s Small Water and Wastewater Systems (SWWS) Specialized Group.
He is an Editorial Board Member for several prestigious journals, including the Journal of Water Process Engineering (Elsevier, Top 10%), Water (MDPI), and others. His outstanding contributions to research have earned him recognition as one of the World’s Top 2% Scientists by Elsevier BV and Stanford University for three consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024).
His accolades include the National Young Engineering Icon Award 2024 from the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), the UKM Young Excellent Academician Award 2019, the UKM Young Researcher Excellence Award 2017, the Top Reviewer Award 2017 by Bioresource Technology, and the Malaysian Toray Science Foundation Award 2015.
Dr. Hassimi is the principal investigator for 20 research projects and a co-investigator for over 40 projects in water and wastewater process engineering. He has also participated in more than 10 consultancy projects under UKM Pakarunding Sdn. Bhd.
His prolific academic contributions include over 200 scientific articles, 8 books, 10 book chapters, and numerous popular science articles in Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia, and Dewan Kosmik. He has collaborated with international partners from the United Kingdom, China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Iraq.
