Research Centers

Research Centers are the primary research units at KAUST. The Centers are strategic and focus on topical areas that drive research projects toward achieving their goals.

• Advanced Membranes and Porous Materials
• Catalysis
• Clean Combustion
• Computational Bioscience
• Geometric Modeling and Scientific Visualization
• Red Sea
• Solar and Photovoltaic Engineering
• Water Desalination and Reuse

A typical Research Center at KAUST consists of 8-10 members of faculty, 40-50 graduate students, research scientists and engineers, postdoctoral researchers, visiting researchers (including resident and visiting scientists from industry) and administrative and technical staff.
