Nine faculty members of Texas A&M University at Qatar (Tamuq), a Qatar Foundation (QF) partner university, have featured on a list recently published by Stanford University researchers to recognise the top two percent of the most-cited scientists worldwide in all fields.
They are: Dr Tingwen Huang, mathematics; Dr Eyad Masad, mechanical engineering and civil engineering; Dr Ioannis Economou and Dr Marcelo Castier, chemical engineering; Dr Milivoj Belic, physics; and Dr Haitham Abu-Rub, Dr Joseph Boutros, Dr Ali Ghrayeb and Dr Hussein Alnuweiri, electrical and computer engineering.
Dr César Octavio Malavé, dean of Tamuq, said it was impressive for such a small campus to have 15 percent of its faculty named among the top scholars worldwide in their individual fields.
“Being highly cited means that researchers have demonstrated significant influence in their fields and are counted among the world’s top scientific minds,” Malavé said. “Through their research, our faculty are solving real-world challenges, creating new understanding that is shared with researchers in academia, industry and governments in Qatar and around the world.”
Academic citations reflect an exchange of ideas that expand human knowledge, Malavé said, noting that Tamuq faculty are making an impact locally and globally by making leading contributions to academic discourse on cutting-edge topics and technologies.
“We are proud of their accomplishments and the role all of our faculty members play in making our university the essential partner to the State of Qatar in improving the world around us,” Malavé said.
Huang, one of the Tamuq researchers on the list, applies mathematics to solve engineering problems, especially those originating in Artificial Intelligence, neural networks and computer science. As part of his work, Huang has developed a framework of the smart grid system management via neural network-based approach, which plays a significant role in improving the energy efficiency.
Masad’s research has focused on the development of innovative methods for characterisation of material microstructure and computational modelling of road performance. This work has improved the design of long-lasting and sustainable road infrastructure, and the results of his research have been increasing the longevity and sustainability of roads in Qatar. In fact, Masad has been at the forefront of several Tamuq initiatives that are advancing safety and sustainability, and are integral to standards for world-class infrastructure in Qatar.
Other faculty researchers on the list are experts in fields ranging from optics and photonics to molecular thermodynamics and networking and telecommunications.
