Mattheus (Theo) F. A. Goosen is an Associate Vice President Research & Graduate Studies and Acting Dean College of Science & General Studies, Alfaisal University, Saudi Arabia. He has played key roles in the development of new start up academic institutions. He has also held academic dean positions at Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat, Oman.He was the Founding Director and Deputy Director Technical of the Center of Research Excellence in Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals (CoRE-PRP). He is a founding member of KFUPM Innovation Center.
He obtained his PhD, under the supervision of late Prof Edward B Nauman, in Chemical Engineering with specialization in Polymer Reaction Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) at Troy, NY, USA. He is a reviewer in 25 ISI journals. He is a recipient of Research Institute Lead inventor, Distinguished Applied Researcher, and Distinguished Project Manager awards. He has 10 US patents (issued and applied) and 50 publications in ISI journals. He delivers keynote lectures in his research areas. He spent Summer 2013, as a visiting researcher, at Japan Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, Ishikawa, Japan. He has successfully managed research projects for BASF The Chemical Company, KACST, SABIC, Saudi Aramco, and Caltech USA.
Dr. Atiqullah is a nominated Vebleo fellow. He currently leads a polyolefin research initiative with a foreign investor that involves laboratory, pilot plant, and demonstration plant study, aiming at establishing a local feedstock-based chemical industry in Saudi Arabia.
He also teaches and supervises graduate theses in his areas of research expertise that include olefin conversion to value-added products (polymeric flow aids and oligomeric lubricants), polyolefin catalysts, and multiphase oligomeric hydrogenation. He has over 30-year experience in these areas.
