Sultan Hassan (Arabic: سلطان حسن) is a Sudanese computational astrophysicist and NASA Hubble Fellow.
In 2013, he received an MSc in Astrophysics & Space Science from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and a PhD from the University of the Western Cape, South Africa.
During his PhD studies, Hassan became a visiting fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics until 2017.
[4] In 2018, he became a Square Kilometre Array Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Western Cape, followed by a Tombaugh Postdoctoral Fellow at New Mexico State University from 2018 to 2020.
[6][7][8][9] Hassan specialises in computational astrophysics, focusing on large-scale galaxy formation[10][11] and high-resolution radiative-transfer simulations coupled with machine learning[12] and Bayesian inference techniques for multimodal information extraction and understanding of how the Intergalactic and Circumgalactic media both had evolved from Cosmic Dawn.
