Quote

KAUST has outstanding professors, researchers, and students along with a professional environment that prevents interruptions and provides a focus on research. Apart from the guidance, vision, encouragement, and solution-oriented attitude of Prof. M.-Slim Alouini, we can work with brilliant students at CTL. Wireless communication is one of the key technologies in today’s world to connect people and things. It is fantastic to work in the field of signals that you don’t see, hear, or smell; however, you know they exist.
