Sayed Khatiboleslam Sadrnezhaad is an Iranian distinguished professor of materials science and engineering, at the Sharif University of Technology. He received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979 and his B.Sc. from the Sharif University of Technology in 1974. He was entitled as 1% world's top scientists by the ESI citation database from Thomson Reuters 2015 and 2016.[2] He is the holder of a research chair from the Iran National Science Foundation (INSF).[3] His current interest is in the emerging bio-nano and SMA fields of the materials science and engineering discipline.[4]

Early life and education

S.K. Sadrnezhaad was born and raised in Tehran. He earned his bachelor’s degree with distinction (first rank) from the Sharif (Aryamehr), the University of Technology, in July 1974. Then he attended the materials science and engineering department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received a Ph.D. in February 1979. He conducted his Ph.D. thesis work under John Frank Elliot's direction to determine the DRI pellets' melting rate in steelmaking slags. Following this, he spent six months as a postdoc fellow under the supervision of John Frank Elliot at the same department to study the specification of the sulfur-containing emissions from the coal combustion and metallurgical plants and another six months as Jefe de Ingenieria Metallurgica in HYL Tecnologia of Monterrey, NL, Mexico (1979–1980).
