Quote

I chose KAUST because it is the best place to make a smooth transition of my research expertise and endeavors from North America to the Middle East. With its high research quality, aspirations, and high-profile professors, KAUST is the perfect place in this region of the world for talented students to start their research careers, and for motivated researchers to significantly expand on their research achievements. Moreover, KAUST professors provide the flexibility to postdoctoral fellows to grow in their own research areas and exert their own creativity as independent researchers.
