As the UAE ’s top research university, Khalifa University has 228 labs and some of the region’s most advanced research facilities. These include:
Masdar Institute Solar Platform
Provides critical tools and expertise required to test concentrating solar power (CSP) and thermal energy storage (TES) systems at the one-of-a-kind 100 kW beam-down CSP facility.
Region’s First Cleanroom
Provides the ultra-clean environment and photolithography tools needed for advanced microelectronics research and small-scale production.
Microscopy Facility
World-class Electron Microscopes are critical for much of the research ongoing at Khalifa University and its world-class electron microscopy facility is one of the more widely utilized core laboratory facilities.
ADNOC Research and Innovation Center (ADRIC )
39 discrete state-of-the-art topical laboratories, grouped under nine themes, to offer a multi-user environment for faculty, researchers and students.
High Performance Computing Cluster
Approximately 300 Teraflops of computing capability distributed between both CPU and GPU nodes.
Khalifa University has also established a number of focus research laboratories with local and international partners, including to provide students and faculty of the University’s Master’s concentration in space systems and technology with the facilities required to construct, test and launch miniature satellite CubeSats.
The Environmental and Geophysical Sciences (ENGEOS) Lab
The Environmental and Geophysical Sciences (ENGEOS) Lab at Khalifa University focuses on studying natural processes and addressing environmental challenges at local and regional scales to propose sustainable solutions and support science-based strategies for stakeholders and governmental entities.
The research activities at ENGEOS lab address land, atmospheric, and oceanic processes and the interactions between them. The overarching goal is to advance science in the field of environment and geophysics using remote sensing (both satellite and ground-based) and state-of-the-art numerical modeling techniques.
