= MOHAMED EDDAOUDI =

Dr. Mohamed Eddaoudi is a Distinguished Professor of Chemical Science and Director of the Advanced Membranes and Porous Materials Center at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Professor Eddaoudi's research activities are mainly aimed at developing new strategies for the design and synthesis of functional solid-state materials from molecular building blocks and advancing the understanding of the structure-property relationship of materials.

Academic Career
Mohamed Eddaoudi obtained his BSc in Chemistry from the University Ibn Zohr, Agadir Morocco in 1991 and Ph.D. in Polymer Science from the University of Paris 7, France in 1996.

Scientific Contribution
Dr. Eddaoudi has developed novel strategies, based on the molecular building block approach, for the construction of functional porous solids namely Zeolite-like Metal-Organic Frameworks (ZMOFs) with tunable extra-large cavities and periodic array of organic and inorganic moieties.
