Alghamdi<\/strong> is the recipient of a scholarship from Saudi Arabia so impactful he said upon receiving it he felt like &ldquo;life has somehow just begun.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia awards the scholarship to Saudi students majoring in medicine, engineering or qualitative scientific research who have successfully completed their first semester of a <abbr>PhD<\/abbr> program with a 4.0 <abbr title=\"Grade Point Average\">GPA<\/abbr>. The scholarship is managed and administered by the Cultural Mission of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia, and includes the following benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full tuition and other relevant required academic fees from spring 2021 to spring 2023<\/li>\n<li>Full and comprehensive health insurance (medical and dental) with no deductible to the student and their family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&ldquo;There were no words to express my feelings,&rdquo; Alghamdi said. &ldquo;On that day, I woke up on a call saying that I got the scholarship; I couldn&#8217;t believe it! I felt somewhat chosen, and there was a huge feeling of relief. I felt the financial issues no longer matter, especially that my wife and my son live with me. The scholarship gave me a boost to morale and confidence in my ability to work toward a better future.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2><abbr>PhD<\/abbr> research focuses on self-driving cars<\/h2>\n<p>Alghamdi\u2019s <abbr>PhD<\/abbr> research is focused on Connected Automated Shared Electrified (<abbr>CASE<\/abbr>) infrastructure planning to prepare for a future of self-driving vehicles, under the guidance of Associate Professor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cee.hawaii.edu\/faculty-staff-main-2\/2-faculty\/zhang\/\"><strong>Guohui Zhang<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Abdulrahman is an excellent <abbr>PhD<\/abbr> student who is passionate about in-depth research in the field of <abbr>CASE<\/abbr> vehicle-enabled transportation infrastructure planning,&rdquo; Zhang said. &ldquo;His dedication, enthusiasm and commitment substantially distinguish him from his peers. His preliminary studies and research findings have greatly enhanced our current understanding of <abbr>CASE<\/abbr> transportation system deployment and will significantly contribute to the state of the art to improve our daily transportation operation efficiency and safety performance in the near future.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Alghamdi is also president of the <abbr title=\"University of Hawaii\">糖心视频<\/abbr> student chapter of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ite.org\/about-ite\/student-chapters\/\">Institute of Transportation Engineers<\/a>.

He says the university is &ldquo;designed around the realms of positivity, happiness, engagement and well-being.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I came in 2017 as a transfer student. In the beginning, I faced many problems that just seemed impossible at first. Still, I found the faculty, from the <abbr>CEE<\/abbr> department&#8217;s chair to staff members, make a great effort to connect with us and spend the vast majority of their time teaching and interacting with us,&rdquo; Alghamdi said. &ldquo;When I started my master&#8217;s, I found the same thing and more where I received several constructive criticisms over the duration of my degree.
