Sultan Hassan (Arabic: سلطان حسن) is a Sudanese computational astrophysicist and NASA Hubble Fellow.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Hassan was born in Saudi Arabia. In 2009, he received a BSc in Physics from the University of Khartoum, Sudan. 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. 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. In September 2020, he became Flatiron Research Fellow at the Flatiron Institute.^[4] In 2022, Hassan was selected for NASA Hubble Fellowship Program as a Hubble Fellow hosted at New York University.^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}

Hassan specialises in computational astrophysics, focusing on large-scale galaxy formation^{[9] [10]} and high-resolution radiative-transfer simulations coupled with machine learning^[11] and Bayesian inference techniques for multimodal information extraction and understanding of how the Intergalactic and Circumgalactic media both had evolved from Cosmic Dawn.^{[12] [13]}
