Biography

Niveen M. Khashab is a Professor of Chemistry at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).  She is also the program Chair of the Chemistry department at KAUST and currently serves as the associate dean of the Physical Sciences and Engineering (PSE) division. After her doctoral studies at the University of Florida, she joined sir Fraser Stoddart’s Lab (Nobel prize winner in Chemistry 2016) at the University of California, Los Angeles, and then at Northwestern University working on supramolecular chemistry. Her work revolves around programmable nanomaterials with emphasis on encapsulation, controlled delivery, and molecular recognition to fabricate smart sustainable materials. Inspired by the model of evolutionary biological systems, her lab is engaged in the design and synthesis of biomimetic supramolecular assemblies by employing non-covalent and coordination interactions. These systems are designed with an emphasis on hierarchical-assembly (evolution), porosity (ordered self-assembly) and stimuli-responsiveness (smart materials). As to application, these nano-systems are utilized as biomedical (encapsulation, delivery and sensing), industrial (nanocomposites and coatings) and environmental (sustainable agriculture) platforms. Prof. Khashab is the recipient of the Crow Award in Organic Chemistry in 2004, AlMaraai Award for Nanotechnology in 2013, the L’Oréal-Unesco Women in Science International Award in 2017, and the Cram Lehn Pederson Award in Supramolecular Chemistry in 2023. In 2021, she was named a fellow of the Royal Chemical Society. She is on the editorial board of 10 scientific journal (ACS, RSC, Wiley) and currently serving as an associate editor at Chemistry of Materials (ACS).
