Jeddah: A Saudi student who became the first to win the Larson Lab Award from the University of Colorado said it was a “humbling recognition” of his artificial intelligence research.
Faisal Darwish Al-Ghamdi, a faculty member at King Abdulaziz University, made history when he earned the title of Outstanding Graduate Student.
The award recognized his research in AI and digital twin technologies, which aim to improve energy efficiency and advance smart building solutions.
Reflecting on the award, Al-Ghamdi told Arab News he was taken by surprise.
“I felt genuine happiness and surprise, as I had no prior knowledge of the nomination process,” he said.
