At the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE) Division, our researchers are uniquely positioned within the thriving KAUST ecosystem to drive transformative change. Harnessing this dynamic community's collective knowledge and resources, they transform discoveries and visionary ideas into impactful solutions.
Here's how this unique environment fuels our innovation engine:
World-class Education
Dedicated to cultivating excellence in technological innovation, we offer a range of advanced graduate programs designed to produce leaders who will shape the future. Our curriculum emphasizes both theoretical depth and practical application, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for demanding careers.
Guided by a faculty of internationally recognized experts, students are engaged in a dynamic learning environment where they are encouraged to push boundaries and redefine possibilities.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
At CEMSE, interdisciplinary collaboration is a driving force behind our innovative research. Empowered by a collaborative ecosystem, our faculty and researchers actively partner with experts across disciplines, both within the University and across the globe.
This collaborative spirit extends to industry, government, and academic institutions, fostering a dynamic environment where new ideas flourish and groundbreaking solutions are accelerated.
Industry Partnerships
KAUST fosters strong ties with industry leaders, connecting our researchers with potential partners and investors. This collaboration lowers the barriers to innovation, enabling us to work on real-world challenges and develop impactful solutions for the Kingdom and the world.
This support, coupled with the creation of the new KAUST National Transformation Institute (NTI), ensures the acceleration of our technology development and commercialization to support the Kingdom's economic diversification aspirations.
Transforming Research into Innovation
KAUST provides comprehensive support for our researchers to translate their discoveries into patents and commercially viable technologies. Through KAUST Innovation, they can access technology assessment, market analysis, intellectual property protection, technology development expertise and investment opportunities.
This support is further intensified by the University new strategy "Accelerating Impact", with a focus on transforming research into economically productive innovations building a supportive research environment and partnering with industry and government to accelerate technology development and commercialization.
