Dr. Yahya brings decades of experience leveraging advanced research and strategic management for entrepreneurship and commercial impact in science and technology. His leadership will strengthen our ongoing collaboration with research centers across Khalifa University and engagement with key stakeholders in the UAE and beyond.

RIC2D has spent years establishing itself as a world-class hub for research in advanced materials. Now, we’re stepping up efforts to translate that work into real-world impact through product development and commercial ventures. This appointment is designed to help us achieve this goal and turn innovations from our labs into market opportunities.

We wish Dr. Yahya success in his new role and are excited to work under his leadership to take the Center to new heights in impact and value creation.
