Biography of Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi | Introduction Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi (born July 4, 1965, Tehran – died June 13, 1404, Tehran) was one of the country's leading scientific and academic figures who achieved unparalleled achievements in the fields of physics and higher education management. Known as a prominent physicist, nuclear scientist, distinguished professor at Shahid Beheshti University, and a renowned scientist in the fields of condensed matter physics, nanophysics, and quantum computing, he played key managerial and policy-making roles in important scientific and cultural institutions in Iran, in addition to his diverse scientific activities. Throughout his career, Tehranchi held sensitive and influential managerial responsibilities in the country's higher education system and left a deep and lasting impact on the development and transformation of Iran's higher education. As one of the influential activists in the field of higher education and scientific policy-making, he played a prominent role in shaping the country's scientific and defense policies and strategies. He was selected as the country's model professor in 2012. Family background and personal life Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi was born on July 4, 1965, in the heart of Tehran, in a religious and committed family. His family upbringing was shaped in an atmosphere full of faith, morality, and interest in science. His parents adhered to the principles of belief and religious values, and this adherence can be traced throughout Dr. Tehranchi's personality and attitude; in such a way that from the very first years of his childhood, the spirit of responsibility, personal discipline, and respect for human and Islamic values were institutionalized in him. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Tehran; Tehranchi's primary and secondary education in Tehran schools was accompanied by his hardworking spirit, admirable perseverance, and relentless scientific curiosity; characteristics that were later repeatedly emphasized by academics and colleagues at all levels of scientific and administrative life. In addition to his continuous efforts in academic growth, he paid special attention to maintaining family peace and playing an active role in the family sphere. By marrying at a young age, he combined his dynamic life path with responsibility for his wife and children - who numbered four. Narratives from his relatives and colleagues about his life confirm that warm, intimate, and instructive relationships with his wife and children were an inseparable part of his daily life, and he directly owed his professional successes to the emotional support of this family environment. Tehranchi was always known for his kindness, good morals, and mutual respect for others in interpersonal interactions. Despite his extensive executive and academic responsibilities, he took his fatherly role seriously in raising his children and creating a motivating and balanced environment for their growth. Having a supportive and supportive family was a valuable asset for him that ensured the connection between his professional commitment and his peace of mind. How many people do you find who, despite the heavy burden of executive and scientific responsibilities on their shoulders, has such a natural reverence in their interactions? From a spiritual perspective, he paid special attention to Islamic teachings, prayer, and turning to the Ahl al-Bayt; as the themes of prayer, trust, and considering responsibility as a "divine duty" have been repeatedly repeated in his messages and statements. In his own words, he considered every success and opening to be a divine blessing and the result of divine grace and favor. Attending religious ceremonies and striving to integrate indigenous and religious values with academic development and scientific innovation were among the enduring characteristics of his personality. In line with this valuable attitude and deep responsibility towards the nation and country, Dr. Tehranchi always showed a balanced, thoughtful response to historical and fateful national events in accordance with his scientific and social position. He firmly believed that officials and elites of society could not remain indifferent to political and social developments and should adopt clear and constructive positions while maintaining scientific dignity and commitment to the supreme interests of the country. This same principled and responsible approach can be seen in his sincere and meaningful message of condolence on the occasion of the martyrdom of Hojjatoleslam Wal-Muslimeen Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, the Honorable President. In this message, which reflected the depth of his thoughts and sincerity of feelings, Tehranchi, combining scientific and literary language, while expressing deep emotion from this national tragedy, emphasized the necessity of continuing the path of the martyrs and realizing the ideals of the Islamic Revolution. The combination of indigenous and Islamic values with academic development and scientific innovation in the personality and management of Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi acted as a fundamental and profound strategy in his university career. He believed that true scientific progress finds authenticity and sustainability only when it takes root in the context of religion, national identity, and the culture of society. Tehranchi considered the university not merely an institution for knowledge transfer, but also a field for civilization-building and the reproduction of spiritual and intellectual capital. For this reason, his efforts were always focused on creating synergy between the latest achievements of modern sciences and Islamic value-based discourse; a clear example of this approach can be seen in the policies of attracting and cultivating native talents, supporting interdisciplinary sciences with an emphasis on solving the objective problems of Iranian society, and directing research projects towards responding to the cultural and industrial needs of the country. Tehranchi believed that scientific innovation becomes meaningful in Iranian society when it is accompanied by professional ethics, social responsibility, attention to educational justice, and maintaining Iran's intellectual independence; therefore, from his perspective, university development was not a separate circle from religious identity and indigenous values, but was considered a platform for the balanced growth of science and culture and the realization of Iran's scientific authority on a global scale. Why nuclear energy? In the strategic perspective of global energy security, countries that have a nuclear fuel cycle are immune to fluctuations in fossil fuel prices and gain greater negotiating power and leverage in international equations. With its vast reserves of natural uranium, high scientific and technological capacity, and growing need for electricity in the industrial and urban sectors, Iran is in a unique position to exploit nuclear energy as a pillar of national development. Statistics show that countries such as France, South Korea, and the UAE have achieved energy self-sufficiency by relying on targeted nuclear programs and have become regional science and technology hubs. Nuclear technology in the 21st century acts as a catalyst for the scientific and technological revolution beyond electricity generation. Medical isotopes produced from research reactors have revolutionized cancer treatment and the diagnosis of complex diseases; Irradiation techniques in agriculture have increased crop yields by up to 40 percent and improved pest resistance; the steel, petrochemical, and oil industries use isotope applications for quality control and process optimization. Therefore, the exclusion of this technology is considered a backwardness in the science and industry value chain, the effects of which will weigh heavily on the national economy in the coming decades. The geopolitical complexities of the nuclear technology field present developing countries with multi-layered challenges, the management of which requires a combination of deep technical knowledge with political and diplomatic insight. Export control regimes such as the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and the Zanger Committee have created a complex network of restrictions and levers of pressure that pose obstacles even to NPT member states in the path of nuclear technology development. The experiences of countries such as Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, and more recently Saudi Arabia show that success in this area depends on adopting diverse strategies, building regional alliances, and avoiding unilateral dependence on major powers. In this tortuous path, it is doubly important to benefit from the experiences of experienced experts who have closely observed the rise and fall of a country’s nuclear program. These experts, who have witnessed international negotiations, strategic decisions, and their consequences, possess a wealth of empirical knowledge that can prevent the repetition of past mistakes and chart a more efficient path to achieving national goals. Ignoring this accumulated experience is a waste of human capital and may leave the country vulnerable to similar pitfalls that have already befallen it. While Iran, as a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty since 1970, has the legal and undeniable right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology, the United States and the Zionist regime, by abusing their military and economic power, have made this legitimate right a hostage to their hegemonic policies and geopolitical interests. The same countries that are the largest producers and keepers of weapons of mass destruction and have a bloody history of wars of aggression and violations of international law, today consider themselves the decision-making authority for other nations. This dual and cruel approach, which stems from the fear of defeating the monopoly of technology and power, is not compatible with any international law and is a clear violation of the national sovereignty of independent countries. People of the world, think about who they took from us? Look at these words of the martyr Dr. Tehranchi, who, by giving examples of his experiences in nuclear negotiations and scientific relations with the West, clearly warns how recklessness, naivety, and undue trust in Western countries have endangered Iran's national interests. O people, what is our current war with the Zionist regime and America about? Their lies, bullying, and mass murder! He tells of a day when one of the responsible officials had a superficial approach to the nuclear file and predicted that this path would lead to nothing but failure. Tehranchi explains how Iran, instead of relying on its own strength and cooperating with friendly countries such as China and Russia, opened the door to negotiations for three European countries, and the result was that these same countries not only did not help at all after the US left, but also increased the pressure on Iran by imposing new sanctions. He also recounts the experience of the empty promises made by Western universities and scientific societies after the JCPOA; from the travel of scientific officials to France to participate in major projects to the presence of high-ranking academic delegations from Europe, which in practice did not bring any real benefits or relations to Iran. He says that Richard Stone suggested taking Iranians to France to participate in fusion projects. Then the head of the Atomic Energy Organization and the deputy head of science went to France to include Iran in the ITER project, but then nothing! That is, there was no result. As a university president, he witnessed that after the JCPOA, the head of the German DAAD came with 80 German and Austrian university presidents, but in his own words, they came only to mislead us and no relations were established. In the end, Tehranchi warns in a compassionate and paternal tone that we should not repeat the wrong paths of the past and endanger the stability and future of the country with unfounded optimism and misplaced trust in foreigners. O people, be aware that we have given Tehranchi's blood for these words and positions! These words clearly demonstrate the depth of commitment and compassion of martyr Tehranchi to Iran and its people. The country's officials should pay attention to the fact that America and the bloodthirsty and child-killing Zionist regime have never stopped exerting pressure, sanctions, and threats against the Iranian nation over the past decades, and every time Iran has sat down at the negotiating table, they have repeatedly violated commitments and broken promises, damaging national trust. Before 1979, these were the same people who were oppressing and taking away our country, but now the Islamic Revolution has freed Iran from the clutches of domination and exploitation by these arrogant powers and brought independence and national dignity. So is it logical that today those who have never missed an opportunity to harm Iran throughout contemporary history are considered reliable partners? These experiences are a lesson that shows that the only way to preserve national interests, Islamic values, honor, and homeland is to rely on domestic power and cooperate with independent and non-affiliated countries, not to reach out to those whose main goal is to weaken Iran's power and capabilities. Today, Islam and Homeland Are One | Biography of Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi As mentioned earlier, Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, throughout his years of service, always defended the fundamental principle that universities and science cannot be separated from Islamic values and national interests. He believed that every scientific and educational decision should be made in order to strengthen the Islamic foundations of the country and preserve the intellectual and technological independence of the Iranian nation. In his view, the responsibility of academics is not only to transfer knowledge, but also to educate a generation that is simultaneously proud of its Islamic origin and Iranian identity and resists the intellectual and cultural influence of enemies. His repeated warnings about the dangers of superficial negotiations and trusting in the empty promises of Western powers were rooted in his deep belief that defending the country and defending Islam were two inseparable trends. Professor Shahid Tehranchi knew that Iran today cannot resist the conspiracies of its enemies without relying on Islamic principles, because these two elements are intertwined. The homeland is one with Islam today and they are superimposed on each other, but today your homeland, that is, dear Iran, is intertwined with the idea of Islam, the main ideological source of the revolution that stood up to the plundering of the homeland's soil and honor. You cannot defend the homeland but not defend Islam. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was the first major movement in contemporary history that was able to simultaneously unite national and religious identity in a revolutionary trend. The slogans of the revolution such as independence, freedom, and the Islamic Republic show that the Iranian people viewed Islam not as a contradiction to nationality, but as a deepening part of their national identity. This revolution against the dependent Pahlavi regime that had sold Iran’s land and resources to the West was victorious, and Islam was the most central factor in national mobilization against the cultural and economic colonialism of foreign powers. The concept of Velayat-e-Faqih in the Islamic Republic of Iran system combines national sovereignty with religious legitimacy. According to this theory, defending the land, people, property, and lives of the people is considered a national duty and a religious and divine obligation. As the guardian, the Faqih is obligated to defend the territorial integrity, political independence, and interests of the nation, and this defense is part of Islamic precepts. Therefore, in such a system, defending the homeland and defending Islam are two sides of the same coin. Over the past 14 centuries, Iran has accepted Islam not as an imported religion, but as part of its cultural and civilizational identity. Shiism, which is the official religion of Iran, is itself a product of the interaction of Islamic thought with Iranian culture and today is considered the most important distinguishing element of Iran’s national identity vis-à-vis its neighbors. Hafez, Rumi, Ferdowsi, and Saadi, who are symbols of Iranian culture, all created their works within the framework of Islamic thought. Historical experience has shown that whenever Iran has distanced itself from Islam and religious values, it has become more vulnerable to the cultural and political influence of foreign powers. The first and second Pahlavi periods, which were accompanied by anti-Islamic policies, led to the country's deep dependence on foreign powers. On the contrary, after the Islamic Revolution, Iran has been able to maintain its political and economic independence and resist pressures. Islam has played a pivotal role in this equation as a factor of resistance and independence. The era of Sacred Defense is the best practical example of the unity of the homeland and Islam. During this period, defending the Iranian soil was tied to the concepts of jihad and martyrdom, and millions of Iranians sacrificed their lives for religious reasons to defend their homeland. These sacrifices demonstrated the complete fusion of these two components in the minds and lives of the Iranian people. Anyone who wants to defend Iran today but ignores Islam as the most central element of the identity and motivation of the Iranian nation has in fact been deprived of the most important aspect of his national identity and resistance. Education and academic standing Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi’s educational path represents a purposeful connection between a precise scientific foundation, a deep research perspective, and outstanding international experiences; he had found his identity and mission in a complete life. After completing his primary and secondary education in Tehran schools and early exposure to the scientific environments of the capital, he succeeded in entering Shahid Beheshti University and in 1988, by earning a bachelor’s degree in physics, he established a strong theoretical foundation for his future research. In his master’s degree, with a focus on solid-state physics, he focused on one of the most important and innovative branches of contemporary physics and successfully completed this course in 1991. This research choice opened up new horizons in the field of new technologies and advanced materials for him and provided a suitable platform for entering the nuclear knowledge space. Tehranchi then went to Russia to complete his specialized knowledge and enhance his scientific competitiveness and, after being accepted to the doctoral program at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, one of the most prestigious scientific centers in Europe, he began research in the field of theoretical physics. In 1997, he received his doctoral degree with a thesis on more advanced topics in theoretical physics and, relying on this scientific support, entered the field of higher education and research. In addition to his formal academic stages, Tehranchi also spent a valuable study opportunity at the Abdolsalam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy. This center is considered one of the main hubs of international scientific interactions and a gathering place for the world's greatest theoretical physics minds. The experience of this period allowed him to expand the boundaries of his specialized knowledge, as well as to form a network of global research connections and to become directly acquainted with new scientific approaches and current technologies in the world. The Abdul Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is one of the most prestigious scientific centers in the world for research and education in the fields of theoretical physics and applied mathematics. The center was established in 1964 under the initiative and scientific management of Abdul Salam, a prominent Pakistani physicist and Nobel Prize winner in Physics, with the support of UNESCO, the International Atomic Energy Agency (Click here to read more about the IAEA) and the Italian government. The fundamental goal of ICTP was to eliminate global scientific inequalities; that is, to provide talented scientists and researchers from developing countries with the scientific environment, infrastructure and international cooperation networks and to play a role in advancing the frontiers of knowledge in basic sciences. The center hosts hundreds of scientists, professors, and scholars from all over the world annually, and through its workshops, seminars, and short- and long-term study opportunities, it provides a unique platform for the formation of innovative scientific ideas and the exchange of research experiences at the highest level. ICTP has a special place in the development of human capacities and the promotion of international scientific authority due to its emphasis on scientific competence, multicultural societies, and the practical connection of knowledge with global scientific challenges. Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi is recognized as a professor of all 41 universities in the country with a rank of 41 in the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, which is the highest rank of professor in the Iranian higher education system. He has also been a distinguished professor at Shahid Beheshti University. Tehranchi has published more than 150 articles in prestigious international journals, received more than 3,000 scientific references, and his h-index is approximately 29. He has also written 12 books and registered 8 patents. The h-index, also known as the "H-index," is an international measure of a researcher's scientific impact and productivity; the higher the number, the more authoritative scientific papers the individual has published and the more frequently his papers have been cited by other researchers. With an h-index of approximately 29, the late Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi had achieved a very prominent position in the field of physics. A number that is not achieved simply by hard work, but is the result of years of in-depth research, scientific innovation, and contributions at the frontiers of knowledge. This high index shows that the works of our beloved martyr have been considered and used not only in Iran but also globally, and the world's scientific community has valued his achievements; a great honor that paints a clear picture of his scientific impact and sincere service to science and the Islamic homeland for everyone.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, O my Lord, the word of Allah is good, for you are a proof against me and a path to Him, O my Lord, there is no praise except through success from You, there is no praise and no thanks from a lesser person than me, and I will not accept your thanks. I would like to express my gratitude to the Almighty God for granting permission to this least person, so that in the days when the ill-wishers and advocates of Western civilization, following the path of ignorance, had made it their profession to assassinate intellectuals and boycott universities, and even the JCPOA did not bring about the abolition of these ill-wishers, and the Europeans continue to insist on their hostile policy of boycotting this university, the important responsibility of Shahid Beheshti University was entrusted to me. They aimed to cut off this good root, and my colleagues and I began a jihad to thwart their evil plan, and in this area, we followed the example of the standard-bearer of the Islamic Revolution, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution. And while the higher education system was in a state of lethargy and weakness, we made scientific progress our slogan and aimed at the comprehensive promotion of the university in the national and international arenas. The successes that the great family of Shahid Beheshti University achieves every day are not hidden from anyone, and all this was due to the grace of God Almighty and the comprehensive help of you, the esteemed colleagues of the faculty and staff. Now that this book has come to an end, I hope that the momentum that has been achieved through the efforts of your dear ones will not be interrupted. Finally, I ask forgiveness from all my dear ones for the shortcomings. Peace be upon you and may God have mercy on you and bless you on the 4th of Bahman 2016 - Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi Academic and academic background Bachelor of Physics, Shahid Beheshti University, 1983-1988 Master of Physics, Shahid Beheshti University, 1989-1991 Doctor of Theoretical Physics, Moscow State University of Physics and Technology, 1997 Assistant Professor of Physics, Shahid Beheshti University, 1997-2003 Associate Professor, Shahid Beheshti University, 1998-2006 Professor of Physics, Shahid Beheshti University, 1998 Educational background Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi has taught more than 10 courses at the undergraduate level in physics and more than 10 courses at the graduate and doctoral levels in physics and photonics, as well as teaching at the doctoral level in higher education management, making him one of the country's most influential and multi-dimensional academic professors.

This diversity and breadth of education demonstrates Dr. Tehranchi's scientific depth, experience, and ability in educating different generations of graduates in various fields of physics and scientific policy making. Research Fields and Articles Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi is considered one of the country's prominent research and educational figures in the fields of physics of magnetic materials, photonics, and science and technology policy making. He has published 109 research articles in reputable international journals (ISI and SCOPUS), with an average citation per article of 4.27, and has also presented more than 135 articles in national and international conferences. Dr. Tehranchi has directly participated in the implementation of more than 17 national research projects and, as a supervisor, has supervised 15 doctoral theses and more than 70 master's theses in the fields of physics and photonics. Specialized teaching of doctoral courses in physics, photonics, and higher education management constitutes another important part of his scientific background and fundamental role in training future researchers and managers of science and technology in the country. Scopus and ISI (Web of Science) databases are two international references for indexing and assessing the credibility of researchers' scientific articles and activities; Scopus, with its broader coverage and the provision of indicators such as h-index and number of citations, enables a comprehensive assessment of research in various sciences, and ISI, with selective and strict criteria, indexes very distinguished publications and provides an Impact Factor. The scientific status of Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, who has published more than 150 articles in journals indexed in these databases and has been cited dozens of times, is a testament to his original, influential researcher and a benchmark figure in the scientific environment of Iran and the world; especially since his activity at both ISI and Scopus levels is a sign of his professional support, research innovation and constant presence at the frontiers of modern knowledge. The average citation of 4.27 for each scientific article of Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi indicates his distinguished position and deep impact in the research community of the country and the world; this number means that each of his scientific works has been considered and cited by other researchers more than four times on average. Something that only authoritative and trend-setting thinkers can achieve. Such a position indicates that Dr. Tehranchi's works do not remain in libraries and have inspired future generations of researchers and paved the way for future scientific advances. This level of influence is a sign of his intellectual acceptance among experts and a heavy weight for Iranian science in the world. The sky had not yet cleared when the streets of northern Tehran were plunged into deep silence. Suddenly, a loud explosion shattered everything, like a sudden wound to the city's sleep. The nightmare came true; a house was targeted by a terrorist attack, and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, at the age of fifty-nine, along with his wife and four members of the security team, sacrificed their lives for the security and dignity of the country. The heavy shadow of these crimes takes on a new form every day, and the Israeli regime has once again proven that it knows no bounds for aggression and crime. Neither for humanity nor for its neighbors. On the other hand, the West is no longer the only silent spectator of these tragedies; it has provided Israel with the support, planning, and tools for this death and destruction, while simultaneously providing it with a mask of civilization and development. The memory of martyr Tehranchi’s sacrifice will not heal until the day this festering gland is unable to take away the people of the Middle East’s peace of mind. Martyr Tehranchi, whose name was placed on the US sanctions list in 2020, fell victim to an attack on the morning of June 13, 1404, that targeted the hope and strength of a nation. Alongside him, a group of scientists, military forces, and defenseless people were also killed, whose names will remain in the memory of Iran’s scientific history. The Leader of the Revolution issued a message that same day: “The Zionist regime must expect severe revenge, and the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will give the necessary response.” Tehranchi was a symbol of three decades of perseverance, scientific struggle, and major policymaking; his life story is a living document of the effort to keep hope and science alive in the country. In this bloody event, five other nuclear scientists also joined the caravan of martyrs: Fereydoun Abbasi, Ahmadreza Zolfaghari, Abdolhamid Minouchehr, Amirhossein Faqhi, and Motablizadeh. Sometimes the greatest assets of a nation are embedded in the foundation of our lives today; Martyr Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi is one of those people whose footprints can be seen in the security, scientific progress, and sense of hope of the country these days. We only need to put ourselves in the shoes of a generation that, if it weren't for his and others' sacrifice and perseverance, might have been deprived of a part of the future; a vibrant university, an ecosystem of innovation, scientific self-confidence, and nuclear capabilities. Forgetting people like Tehranchi is gradually the same quiet break and silence that gives ill-wishers the opportunity to target our pride and cohesion. This grateful look at the efforts and suffering of a scientist, more than any symbolic act, calls us to self-awareness and collective responsibility: to decide to make the country better with all our resources by remembering this difficult path every day and not to let the suffering of the past and our human capital go to waste. Tehranchi's memory and achievements are a clear call to action, to action, and to honor truth and hope. Our role is to continue this precious path, to narrate it, and to let the pride and motivation of our today shape Iran's tomorrow.
