Professor ALOthman leads the Advanced Materials and Chromatography Group at King Saud University, where he is Dean of the College of Science. His collaborative work with researchers in Malaysia, Iraq, Jordan and Canada characterised natural Iraqi bentonite clay as a low cost adsorbent for removing toxic cationic dyes from water, informing practical wastewater treatment.
Professor Al-Wabel leads research on environmental soil chemistry at King Saud University, where he founded the Saudi Biochar Research Group. His co-authored Scientific Reports study assesses the sources, toxicity potential and human health risks of heavy metal laden soils and dusts around industrial and mining areas, informing safer land management in arid environments.
Professor Muhammad works on image and speech processing and intelligent healthcare at King Saud University and is a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher. His co-authored Information Fusion survey synthesises multimodal medical signal fusion approaches for smart healthcare systems, spanning deep learning methods and clinical applications, written with collaborators at Canadian and international institutions.
Al-Mayouf heads the Electrochemical Sciences Research Chair at King Saud University, researching porous and nanostructured materials, electrocatalysts and photocatalysts. In this seven-institution collaboration spanning Spain, Argentina, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, he helped establish a physical model explaining current-voltage hysteresis and impedance in halide perovskite memristors, informing the design of emerging memory devices.
