A.F.M. Hassan, professionally known as Kamrul Hassan, serves as Senior Lecturer and Undergraduate Academic Chair in Accounting and Finance at Murdoch Business School, Murdoch University.

Hassan's research specializes in time series econometrics, examining relationships between energy consumption, economic growth, financial development, trade openness, population ageing, and environmental impacts. Key publications include 'Renewable and non-renewable energy consumption and economic activities: Further evidence from OECD countries' (with R. Salim and S. Shahar, Energy Economics, 2014); 'Population ageing, income growth and CO2 emission: Empirical evidence from high income OECD countries' (with R. Salim, Journal of Economic Studies, 2015); 'Population age structure, saving, capital flows and the real exchange rate: A survey of the literature' (with R. Salim and H. Bloch, Journal of Economic Surveys, 2011); 'Temporal causality and dynamics of financial development, trade openness, and economic growth in Vector Auto Regression (VAR) for Bangladesh, 1974-2003' (with M.R. Islam, Journal of Nepalese Business Studies, 2005); and 'Causality and dynamics of energy consumption and output: Evidence from non-OECD Asian countries' (with R.A. Salim and S. Rafiq, Journal of Economic Development, 2008). Additional works cover determinants of current account deficits in developing economies (2006), government expenditure and GDP gaps in Bangladesh, and purchasing power parity of the Australian dollar (2011). Recent contributions address the economic burden of mental health deterioration and climate solutions for Southeast Asian cities. His scholarship, reflected in over 900 citations on Google Scholar, advances understanding of macroeconomic dynamics across developed and developing contexts.
