KAUST is an amazing place. If you really want to do quality research, KAUST is the right place. It’s one of the best places on earth to do research. Having the right advisor, at the right time, is very important. Because he comes from such a high standard, he pushes everyone to also maintain the highest standards. That changes everything.
