Professor Basem Shihada’s Shoman Award win highlights excellence in Arab-led science
KAUST Professor Basem Shihada wins the Shoman Award for research translating intelligent mathematical models into real-world systems.
About
Arab-led research at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is advancing real-world solutions with regional and global impact.
Professor Basem Shihada has received the Abdul Hameed Shoman Award for Arab Researchers in the field of basic sciences for his contributions to intelligent mathematical modeling and its applications. He won for work spanning AI-powered models, digital health, intelligent wearable systems, and intelligent connectivity — including underwater and non-terrestrial networking systems.
“This award confirms the research philosophy that I have maintained throughout my career, namely that rigorous mathematics and theory should always result in actual, working systems which serve people,” said Shihada, chair of the Computer Science Program. “Our models are not only mathematically rigorous but have been tested using datasets and put into use in operational systems, such as wearable sensing platforms and new communication networks.”
