Professor Farooq

Dr. Farooq received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 2010, and then joined King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) as an Assistant Professor.

He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in 2016 and full professor in 2022.He is the principal investigator of the‍ FASTER Laboratory  at KAUST. His research interests are in the areas of energy, chemical kinetics, spectroscopy, and laser-based sensors.

He has authored nearly refereed journal articles and has given invited talks at a number of international conferences.
At KAUST, he won the Distinguished Teaching Award, given to the best instructor over a period of two years.
In 2019, Dr. Farooq was awarded the prestigious Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Research Award by Elsevier and the Combustion Institute. In 2020, he received Research Excellence Award by the Combustion Institute.
