"Scientists from KAUST in Saudi Arabia succeeded in differentiating between two different types of cancer (cervical and breast cancers), and also between subtypes of the same cancer (basal and luminal cancer cells) by measuring their thermal-transport properties."

​Dr. Ahmad Ali Al-Jabr, Dr. Hala H. Al-Hashim, Dr. Amanda Ooi, and Master Edgars Stegenburgs graduates from KAUST Class of 2016!

The visit was a part of KFUPM EE420 (Optical Fiber Communication) senior level course field trip.

During the 62nd IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) conference 2016 Prof. Ooi chairs a session and Chao Shen presents his work.

Nature Middle East Research Highlight: "Sifting through cells using heat"

Prof. Ooi joined the Saudi Arabia convoy in UNFCCC Marrakech Climate Change Conference 2016. The 2016 United Nations Climate Change Conference is held under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and is expected to be attended by delegates from 196 countries.

"KAUST and KACST have come up with a novel way to fill the “green-yellow gap” typically seen in white-LED implementations based on multiple phosphors."

Congratulations! The poster competition is part of IPC 2016 (IEEE Photonics Conference).

KAUST ranks #1 in Citations per Faculty and #19 for the largest growth in high-quality research contributions among the world's universities.
