On September 15, 2026, the Electrical Engineering Department at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) hosted a seminar titled “Presenting Research with Impact: Conference Strategies and Responsible AI Use,” delivered by Dr. Ali Hussein Muqaqibel, Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department.
The seminar focused on best practices for delivering effective technical presentations at academic conferences. Dr. Muqaqibel discussed key strategies for organizing technical content, designing clear and engaging presentation slides, communicating complex research effectively, and handling question-and-answer sessions with confidence.
The seminar also addressed the responsible use of artificial intelligence in academic and professional presentations. The discussion highlighted common mistakes in using AI tools and provided practical recommendations for maintaining clarity, professionalism, and accuracy when incorporating AI into research communication.
Participants gained practical insights into preparing and delivering clear, engaging, and impactful research presentations, while also developing a better understanding of responsible AI use in academic and professional settings.
