Upon receiving his PhD in 1983, Kasap accepted an
assistant professorship in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S). He was promoted to Full Professor in electronic and optoelectronic materials in 1992. In recognition of his efforts, Kasap was appointed a Tier 2
Canada Research Chair in Electronic Materials and Devices from 2002 to 2008. The chairship also assisted him in opening an engineering laboratory at U of S to further his research. During his seven years as a Canada Research Chair, Kasap developed a partnership with
Analogic Corporation in
Montreal to improve detectors for digital imaging with X-rays. He specifically focused on how photoconductors were used in digital
mammography. In 2008, Kasap was named a Fellow of the
Royal Society of Canada and
Engineering Institute of Canada. In 2009, Kasap was appointed a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Electronic and Optoelectronic Materials and Devices. He was recognized by
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Canada in 2012 with their J.M. Ham Outstanding Engineering Educator Award for "outstanding contributions to electrical and electronic engineering education." Kasap was named a
Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015 for his contributions to
photoconductive sensors for
x-ray imaging. After his Canada Research Chair appointment expired, Kasap was awarded a Saskatchewan Centennial Enhancement Chair in recognition of his "outstanding accomplishments as a Canada Research Chair." In 2018, Kasap was named
Editor-in-Chief of
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics. ==References==
