Christopher Petoukhoff is among the first cohort of awardees of the KGFP. He will conduct his research at the KAUST Solar Center (KSC) under the supervision of KSC Interim Director, Professor Frédéric Laquai.

Luis A. Lanzetta, postdoctoral research fellow with the Baran Research Group and Jan Kosco, research scientist in the Heeney Research Group in the KSC, have been selected to participate in the 71st edition of the prestigious Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.

So proud of #KSC Prof. Derya Baran. Featured in the NatGeo AbuDhabi documentary "Chasing Answers" on the incredible and life-changing work being undertaken at the #KSC, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.

KSC alumni spread all across the globe, are affiliated with world-renowned organizations. Our trailblazers are breaking new ground with each passing day in various areas of scientific research and development, leadership, and social impact; both locally and globally.

Safakath Karuthedath, a research scientist in Prof. Frederic’s Laquai research group has been selected as one of the speakers for the Next Generation Solar Energy (NGSE) PhD-Postdoc Series. This series aims to promote the work of emerging scientists in the field of solar energy. Whereas many talks at mainstream conferences are given by experienced professors and group leaders, here only early career researchers will be given a stage to promote a new generation of promising scientists.

KSC Professor of Material Science and Engineering, Thomas Anthopoulos will be one of the speakers at the international workshop on Emerging Solar Energy Materials and Applications (ESEMA), 2022. The workshop is organized in the frame of the French CNRS networks:- on Organic Electronics "OERA" - on Hybrid Perovskite "HPERO" - on Organic and Hybrid Photovoltaic "NANORGASOL."

The two-week Winter Enrichment Program (WEP) returns in 2023 from January 8 to 19 under the theme EDGE – Transform the World You Know, chaired by Professor Derya Baran and co-chair Xin Gao.

Strategic National Advancement division at KAUST arranged the first ever “Green Roads” initiative on Friday, April 1, 2022.

nanoGe Spring meeting, 2022 (NSM22), was an online conference held from March 7 – 11, 2022.

Science and gender equality are an integral part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has reaffirmed its commitment to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 which draws on this great nation's intrinsic strengths on its way towards a sustainable future.

KAUST Solar Center (KSC) is excited to share our science and technology with you within the framework of the KAUST Research Open Week.

Sunlight offers a potential solution in the search for an energy source that does not harm the planet, but this depends on finding a way to efficiently turn electromagnetic energy into electricity. Researchers from KAUST have shown how a known herbicide can improve this conversion in organic devices.

A simple process for depositing silicon oxide onto silicon wafers could be a great step forward for making silicon-based solar cells. Researchers at KAUST have used a method called plasma processing in a chamber filled with carbon dioxide gas.

A polymer previously used to protect solar cells may find new applications in consumer electronics, reveals a KAUST team studying thin films capable of converting thermal energy into electricity.

A process developed at KAUST for depositing extremely thin and smooth films can make it easier to manufacture stable solar cells based on quantum dot technology.

Understanding how solar cell operation changes as it moves from the lab into the real world is essential for optimizing their design prior to mass production. KAUST researchers show how perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells function in a sunny and hot environment.
