Valeriya Chernikova's talent was obvious at a young age. At only 15 years old, she was invited to leave her hometown Maykop in south Russia to study at Kolmogorov School one of the leading High Schools in Russia, associated with Lomonosov Moscow State University. Subsequently, she earned her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Physical Chemistry at this prestigious Institution.
On September 10, Ayalew H. Assen successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis entitled 'Polynuclear Rare-earth (RE) based Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): From Topological Exploration to Preparation of Tailor-made MOFs' under the supervision of AMPM Center Director Prof. Mohamed Eddaoudi and committee members Profs. Kazuhiro Takanabe (The University of Tokyo), Osman Bakr (KAUST) and Guillaume Maurin (The Institute Charles Gerhardt Montpellier).
Imaging defects in MOF crystals, and monitoring how they develop, will allow control of defect formation to design better MOFs for many applications.
Removing the troublesome impurities of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas could become simpler and more effective using a metal-organic framework (MOF) developed at KAUST.
FMD3 Senior Research Scientist, Dr. Youssef Belmabkhout, participated as a panel speaker in the third session of Asbar World Forum (AWF), which took place in Riyadh between 4-6 November 2018 under the theme “The Future Era: Saudi Arabia Tomorrow.”
