Dental Medicine during 2017 and is an active contributor to educational, academic,
clinical and research activities, with evidence of broad and high impact
publications within the dental literature.
Her approach to dental education has been to work her

made contacts within dental education, private practice, and dental research
globally, which lead her to the commitment of academic excellence.
Dr. Hassan has worked full time in dental education
since 1995. She began at the University of Khartoum in Sudan where she quickly
earned promotions to chair, and professor of the department. She also earned
the distinction as the first female full professor of dentistry in Sudan.

and Ph.D. students, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate activities that
foster the development of dental education, research and clinical practice.
Dr. Hassan’s research is in dental materials, oral
health research, and clinical research. Her novel research was one of the first
to highlight the impact of dietary components on the performance of dental
materials within the oral cavity.

sub-specialty, in Vienna, Austria during 1993; her master’s in conservative
