McLaren Racing and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) signed a five-year research and development (R&D) agreement focused on extreme performance technology. The partnership aims to advance research in the areas of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), machine learning, fuels and lubricants, advanced mathematics and sensors and electronics. Less than ten years after the University's establishment in 2009, KAUST has produced promising solutions in the areas of extreme performance technology, with scientists at the University working on research, engineering and innovation challenges that impact Saudi Arabia and the world.
