Yes, You can.

Hello Professor Nickname and Hello Assistant Professor Nickname: Simply compare these two and you will see that the first one seems more polite and normal. (However, culture of calling people and it's etiquette may vary in different countries and universities.)

However, I think that Hello Doctor Nickname or Hello Mrs./Mr. Nickname are good choices if you are in doubt about the politeness/correctness of using a specific title.

PS: This may be too pessimistic (and not so true) but I afraid, using Hello Assistant Professor Nickname may cause the person to feel that the student wants to remind that professor her level of profession (something like: you are an assistant professor not a professor) and this may cause her to be annoyed.

Yes, You can.
