Prof. Turner's interests are primarily in engines and powertrains of all types and the decarbonization of the fuels that they use. 

His main goals are:

• To establish KAUST as the key research hub in the use of hydrogen for propulsion in transportation;
• To investigate novel energy conversion approaches and how they interact with hybrid systems;
• To pursue research promoting the use of e-fuels to decarbonize transportation;
• To develop multi-disciplinary programs to enhance the penetration rate of renewable energy in transportation through the ability to blend optimized liquid e-fuels with existing fossil formulations.

In doing all of this he hopes to make a meaningful contribution to ensuring society's continued access to transportation in an ultra-low carbon future.
