- Catalysis Center (http://www.kaust.edu.sa/research/centers/catalysis.html) is one of nine research centers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). The Center’s scientists develop innovative catalysts, novel catalytic reactions and original catalytic technologies, which are crucial to meet future challenges. The center will move from “catalyst discovery” to “catalysis by design.”
KAUST is located 80 km north of Jeddah on the Red Sea in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. Newly opened in September 2009, KAUST is an independent merit-based research university that has attracted exceptional researchers, faculty and students from around the world. KAUST offers world-class facilities, competitive salaries and a wide range of benefits.
