Summary
KAUST Professor Hernando Ombao is leading the Biostatistics Group to develop statistical models for projecting hospitalization surges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The group uses techniques like time series analysis and stationary subspace analysis to understand complex biological processes. The models aim to provide public health officials with accurate hospitalization estimates under varying scenarios. Why it matters: This research contributes to preparedness and resource allocation in healthcare systems during public health crises, with potential applications beyond COVID-19.

A KAUST team led by Hossein Fariborzi won second place in the MEMS Design Contest for their "MEMS Resonator for Oscillator, Tunable Filter and Re-Programmable Logic Applications." The device is runtime-reprogrammable, allowing the function of each device in the circuit to be changed during operation. The KAUST team demonstrated that two MEMS resonators could replace over 20 transistors in applications like digital adders, reducing digital circuit complexity. Why it matters: This innovation could significantly reduce power consumption, chip area, and manufacturing costs in microprocessors, advancing the development of energy-efficient microcomputers in the region.
