A teacher at Ibn Khaldun National School, the self-proclaimed top academic institution in all of Bahrain, and arguably (but improbably) the Gulf region, Afiouni's achievements there include the creation of the school's first ever middle school science fair that is still being sustained. After he moved to teach IB physics in the Secondary School, he developed a teaching mechanism that involves a projector that allows all class lectures to be recorded. This technique might be employed in some Bahrain universities, as he has given seminars that explain the mechanism of the technique. His latest project was KAG, a car that he developed and created from nothing and showcased in Ibn Khuldoon.cite web|title= Shaikh Khaled bin Hamad Invented a Car and named it KAG: Bahrain News Agency June 12, 2007|url=http://english.bna.bh/?ID=59415 |accessdate=2008-03-24|publisher=Bahrain News Agency] cite web|title=King's Son Creates Car of the Future: Gulf Daily News June 13, 2007|url=http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/1yr_arc_Articles.asp?Article=185084&Sn=BNEW&IssueID=30085&date=6-13-2007 |accessdate=2008-03-24|publisher=GDN] His past research involves the development of conductive polymers coated on non-conductive substrates for use in multi-spectral screening material. He also worked on the use of zero-valent metal and ultrasonic energy for an in-situ ground water remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons. He received the Kathleen McIntyre Award for his outstanding achievements.cite web|Clausen CV|url=http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:J9OXTfdwO8QJ:chemistry.cos.ucf.edu/CV/Clausen.doc+ghassan+afiouni+obscurant&hl=ar&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=bh&client=firefox-a|title=PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY OF DR.
