It is a great honour to be the first President of KCST. In less than five years, KCST has made significant progress in realising its vision to become a leading institution of science and technology in the Middle East with international standards in teaching and research. KCST is now known for its high standards of teaching and its impactful research and innovation.
The impact of our efforts was demonstrated when we put all our innovation and research labs in the service of the State of Kuwait and the heroes at the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19. Over several months, the management, technical staff and most importantly, our wonderful volunteer students worked long hours to design, fabricate and distribute face shields to hospitals and other sites. Meanwhile, our researchers were developing statistical studies and research technologies to understand and tackle the pandemic.
