As Saudi Arabia charts a new future, one professor is challenging bright young minds to think how that future could be.
KAUST’s Circular Carbon Initiative (CCI) brings together many disciplines to fill an innovation gap and to support Saudi Arabia in its vision to achieve a circular carbon economy. Through the CCI, KAUST aims to change the carbon narrative to one of reduce, reuse, recycle and remove.
High school students had the opportunity to work with a KAUST research team to create a new model of a bacteriophage, a virus that attacks bacteria, and test the team’s new prototype software.
It’s not unusual for students from Saudi Arabia to come to KAUST for graduate studies – Saudi students comprise about a third of the student population. What is unusual, however, is for a student to come from the same town as the KAUST campus.
Noble laureate Toni Morrison once said, “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
A coral identification workshop has been organized by KAUST with colleagues from Saudi Arabia’s gigaprojects to increase regional knowledge about corals, which are so important for the conservation of the Red Sea marine environment.
The challenges of food production and global food security require a long-term, multi-pronged approach.
Houses on the KAUST campus will trial an air conditioner that uses little energy
Sampling feces seems like a long way from tackling global challenges, but for one KAUST researcher, it helped to address two very contemporary crises.
A cross-disciplinary project results in improved efficiency for seismic processing, with promising applications for the energy industry.
Patients, clinicians and researchers all benefit from KAUST’s collaborations with Saudi hospitals. Patients with difficult genetic conditions can access the latest diagnostics. Researchers and students interact with clinicians and hear real-world stories from patients, which helps them understand societal impacts of their work and motivates them even more to pursue excellence in research.
When the SARS-CoV-2 virus began to spread across the globe, researchers from KAUST rapidly mobilized into teams to confront the challenge, often with support from other hospitals and universities in Saudi Arabia. They reflect on their experiences.
What if artificial intelligence
could look at the world and
understand it like we do?
Small affordable satellites provide more opportunities for enhanced monitoring of the Earth and its ecosystems.
What started in 2014 exploring the possibility of one-step conversion of crude oil to chemicals has bloomed into a major research partnership between KAUST and Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s flagship petroleum refiner.
A 10-year industry-academic collaboration is an ambitious endeavor, but a partnership between the Clean Combustion Research Centre at KAUST and the Transport Technologies Division at Saudi Aramco’s Research and Development Center has exceeded expectations in terms of nurturing talent and achieving outcomes.
A membrane autopsy can be used to determine what is fouling the membrane and thus prescribe the best methods for cleaning as well as other ways to improve its efficiency.
Nanoparticles have a bright future in new ways with light and photonics. Deanna Lacoste, mechanical engineer at KAUST, has had a longstanding interest in nanoparticles and now, with KAUST support, is sharing that interest with Amal Alamri, electrical engineer from King Abdulaziz University (KAU) and KAUST alumna.
A fascination with desert plants and their survival mechanisms has led to a game-changing discovery for improving crop productivity under stress conditions.
Satellite data delivered directly to a computer can tell a geophysicist much of what they need to know, but fieldwork still adds value to their work.
Regenerative medicine and coral restoration are just two of the areas where the emerging field of bioprinting research is having an impact.
