To help for the design of new materials and the understanding of their networks related properties, strong knowledge in topology is a crucial factor. Prof. Mohamed Eddaoudi, PI of the FMD3 group is really concerned about providing the opportunity to the Kaust scientific community to develop new skills. For this purpose, his group recently hosted the world famous scientist from the University of Arizona, Prof. Mike O'Keeffe and Dr. Charlotte Bonneau for a one week intensive workshop on nets and topology.
More than 20 students and scientists from various research centers attended the daily classes, and enjoyed the opportunity to discuss their own projects with two specialists. No doubt the science conducted in Kaust will beneficiate from this work shop very soon.
Social activity was also part of the schedule, including a boat cruise.
