Abdulaziz Al-Turki is an assistant professor at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Prior to KAU, Abdulaziz was a Ph.D. student in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UCLA, and before then, he was a process/supply planning engineer with Saudi Aramco entailed planning supply and demand outlook for the kingdom's need of Natural Gas and its derivatives. Abdulaziz’s research expertise is in modeling and simulation and intensification of chemical engineering processes to develop sorption applications for sustainable energy and chemicals systems. His studies include fundamental structure-function relationships for organic and inorganic synthetic materials of dilute aqueous solutions systems for the beneficial use of ion exchange in CO2 mineralization and the use of solid adsorbents to extract fuels and chemicals derived from fermentation processes. Abdulaziz received his B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Leeds, U.K., in 2012 and his Ph.D. in chemical and biomolecular engineering from UCLA in 2020.
