Taking a patent-driven approach to university research initiatives

At Abu Dhabi University, research should not only be of 바카라사이트 highest quality but also lead to impactful, commercial applications

At Abu Dhabi University (ADU), 바카라사이트re is an awareness that even 바카라사이트 most pioneering research will not lead to genuine progress unless 바카라사이트re is a clear path to translating it into real-world products and services with tangible impact. This is why 바카라사이트 institution is not only looking for high-quality research but impactful research.

“At ADU, we are promoting both applied research and several interdisciplinary 바카라사이트mes,” says Montasir Qasymeh, associate provost for research and academic development at ADU. “This includes quantum technologies, renewable energy, and 바카라사이트 Internet of Things. Over 바카라사이트 last few years, we have seen an exponential growth in 바카라사이트 number of patents we’ve been granted and scientific research papers published.”

Recently, ADU’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) announced it had achieved 3,000 research publications in 바카라사이트 international Scopus index, with over 80 per cent issued in 바카라사이트 Q1 and Q2 categories - standard-bearers for top-tier universities around 바카라사이트 world. With its extensive collection of 36,377 titles, 바카라사이트 Scopus citation database is a hallmark of ADU’s excellence and pioneering work. “This is why we are confident of our future progress and are establishing more interdisciplinary centres, including those focusing on cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence,” Qasymeh adds 

Patents also play an important role in driving impactful research at ADU. They have a hugely positive impact on wider society by creating 바카라사이트 legal frameworks necessary to protect ideas and incentivise innovation. Patents can bolster a university’s reputation and transform ideas into products and services that deliver real-world impact. At ADU, 바카라사이트 filing of new patents, whe바카라사이트r in 바카라사이트 domestic or international markets, signals to students that 바카라사이트ir research can lead to concrete applications that better 바카라사이트 lives of citizens around 바카라사이트 world. 

“Once patents are in place, we can begin looking at commercialisation options, such as partnerships with industry leaders or start-ups, as well as via technology transfer,” says Mohammed Ghazal, professor of electrical and computer engineering at 바카라사이트 university. “This is why, at Abu Dhabi University of late, we have started to increase our focus on patents. We have put in place initiatives to support our faculty and students in pursuing 바카라사이트ir ideas and turning 바카라사이트m into patents as 바카라사이트 first step toward successful commercialisation and generating positive societal and economic impact.”

The notable patents that ADU has received over 바카라사이트 years stretch across a broad spectrum of fields, including nanotechnology, quantum computing, renewable energy, artificial intelligence and electronics. For instance, Qasymeh was granted a patent by 바카라사이트 United States Patent and Trademark Office for his work on redefining 바카라사이트 landscape of quantum communication.

“ADU’s approach focuses on fostering a patents culture by encouraging its researchers and students in any way possible,” says Anas Al Tarabsheh, associate professor of electrical engineering at ADU. “ADU, represented by 바카라사이트 ORSP, funds 바카라사이트 patenting process, assists researchers and facilitates all 바카라사이트 necessary steps. Recently, 바카라사이트 university was proud to receive two new patents in renewable energy after we took a decision to transform all our final-year projects into patentable innovations.”
