A Summary of Professor Shahriyari’s Academic Record
Prof. Majid Shahriyari who was assassinated at the age of 40 in Tehran, Iran was a professor at the department of nuclear engineering at Shahid Beheshti University of Iran. He also worked with the Iranian Atomic Energy Commission. His publication record suggests that he was specialized in medical applications of nuclear physics, with a particular interest in modelling neutron transport processes. He was one of the advisors to the SESAME council representing Iran. Prof. Shahriyari has published dozens of conference reports and peer-reviewed articles on nuclear research. A list of his publications is attached.
