Dr. Saeed Al-Shihri received his D.Phil. degree in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London in the United Kingdom in 2016. His research area is in applied catalysis and catalytic reaction engineering. Key themes are the upgrading of Natural gas to fuels and chemicals, development of nanostructured materials for different reaction systems, Conversion of carbon dioxide to chemicals and catalytic conversion of heavy oil to olefins. With colleagues in the National Centre for Petrochemical technology, he was awarded the S.I.T.S GOLD MEDAL for the invention of Design a system containing six micro reactors sets working in parallel for catalysts evaluation (2009), and the ITEX Bronze medal for innovation in chemical process design (2009).
