In 1967, M. Gasimov defended thesis for doctor's degree according physics-mathematics sciences in theme of "Some problems of theory of selfadjoint and non-selfadjoint differential operators in MSU" and this dissertation was translated into English in United States. Famous mathematicians, A. Q. Kostyuchenko, V. A. Marchenko, M. A. Naymark had been official opponents. From September 1968 he had become professor position of ASU. From 1972 (until 2007) he had become the chief of chair of Applied Mathematics. In 1970–76, he became the head of Department Partial Differential Equations in the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan.

Gasimov had been the opponent of more than 60 theses for a Doctor's degree and master's in different cities of SSRI. He became participant of three International Mathematic Congresses (Moscow – 1966, France – 1970, Canada – 1974). In Warsaw, he had performed with series of lectures in S. Banach International Math Center.

Work had been estimated as "Spectacular Work" according to special decision of Academic Council. At the same year, he went to worked as an assistant to Moscow Physical Technical Institute and in 1965, he was assigned as a senior lecturer to the Department Mathematics of F. E.
