From Lab to Global Stage: A Young Researcher’s Journey at KFUPM

After a journey of research and training in KFUPM research labs, high school student Mohammed Saleh Alqahtani secured second place at the Taiwan International Science Fair (TISF). This prestigious competition brought together top high school students from over 30 countries to showcase their STEM projects.

Mohammed’s innovative work on CO₂ foam stabilization for enhanced oil and gas recovery—conducted at KFUPM’s Hydrogen Technologies and Carbon Management Research Labs under the supervision of Dr. Safyan Khan—aims to boost extraction efficiency while reducing environmental impact.

This success highlights KFUPM’s role in shaping future scientists, driving advancements in energy and sustainability, and nurturing young talent through cutting-edge research. We look forward to seeing his continued success in the field of energy and sustainability.
