Chemistry (Chem)

The KAUST Chemistry (Chem) Program was established in 2010 to provide a modern, research-oriented education in chemistry. It is one of the top internationally ranked programs at KAUST. Leveraging the outstanding facilities at KAUST, the program distinguishes itself by a clear focus and strong emphasis on current research challenges related to polymers, catalysis, and nanotechnology. 

Within these three main interdisciplinary tracks, the following distinct research orientations are currently addressed: 

Polymers

Catalysis

Nanotechnology

Conjugated polymers

Hetero- and homogeneous catalysts

Hybrid materials

 

 

Sustainable/renewable polymers

Biocatalysts

Porus Materials

Polymeric membranes

Photo- and electro catalysts

Perovskites

Nanocomposites

 

Computation/ theoretical methods

Nanoclusters 

Hydrogels Sustainable catalysts Biocompatible assemblies
