Professor Hassan Ugail was born in Hithadhoo, Addu City in the Maldives. He has been living in the UK since 1992. Prof. Ugail received a BSc. degree with First Class Honours in Mathematics in 1995 and a PGCE in 1996 both from King's College London. He received his PhD from the School of Mathematics at University of Leeds in the year 2000 for his research in geometric design. He then worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the School of Mathematics at University of Leeds until September 2002. Prof. Ugail joined the School of Informatics, University of Bradford, as a Lecturer in September 2002. He was appointed as a Senior Lecturer in 2005 and was promoted to a full professor of Visual Computing in 2009. Prof. Ugail currently serves as the Director of the Centre for Visual Computing at Bradford.

Prof. Ugail's principal research interests are in the areas of geometric design and visualisation, computer based physical analysis and design optimisation that fall into the broad area of research known as Simulation Based Design.
