Professor Osama Tayeb

During his KAU presidency, Professor Tayeb also served as acting president of various newly-established Saudi universities, including Taiba University, Jazan University, and the Northern Borders University. As KAU President, Professor Tayeb spearheaded and presided over the major transformation that KAU underwent in order to achieve its current internationally recognized world-class university status. During this process, the majority of KAU’s academic programs were awarded accreditation from international accreditation agencies. KAU has consequently achieved its rightful ranking among the World’s top 400 universities in the international ranking lists of Shanghai, QS, and the Times.

Professor Adnan Zahed has been the Vice-President for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) since 2009. He is a KAU Professor of Chemical Engineering.

Professor Zahed’s tenure has witnessed a huge increase in the numbers of KAU academic staff’s scholarly publications featured in ISI-ranked journals, which increased from 260 in 2009, up to 3,600 in 2014. Various incentive programs, initiated and implemented under Professor Zahed’s supervision and guidance, have resulted in notable increases in citation numbers, which also increased from 1,100 in 2009 up to 21,000 in 2014. Professor Zahed is the Secretary-General of the KAU IAB.
Professor Jozef Ritzen
