Bagherzadeh outlined the university’s scientific and technological priorities, noting: This year, Amirkabir University will place special emphasis on areas such as future engineering, frontier engineering, medicine, and issues related to human health. Accordingly, nine parallel working groups have been formed with the participation of more than 70 distinguished professors and researchers from 36 countries, focusing on challenging research topics projected for the next one to two years.
