Welcome to
The Saudi Center
for Theoretical Physics (SCTP)
Saudi Center for Theoretical physics was
informally founded at KFUPM almost 20 years ago in the
early 90s. The original work was limited to atomic and
nuclear scattering using the J-matrix approach.
Membership increased from only a few (Profs. Yamani and
Abdelmonem) to more that 15 as regular, associates, and
students; ranging from local to international
membership. Research areas are expanding in step with
membership. SCTP was established in February 2009 under the
patronage of HRH Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz. The aim of
the center is to expand and strengthen the mission of
the Group and make transition towards fulfilling the
vision of establishing a national Center running on an
efficient, flexible, independent, and highly motivated
system for promoting quality work in various fields of
theoretical physics. This can only result in significant
contributions towards the national development in
science and engineering in Saudi Arabia.
