Biography

Mehdi Sadat-Shojai obtained his B.Sc. degree in applied chemistry in 2006, from Guilan University, Iran and M.Sc. degree in polymer science in 2008, from Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute, Iran. Afterwards, he obtained his Ph.D. degree in polymer engineering in 2013 at Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute, Iran. He also spent six months as a Visiting Research Scientist at Harvard Medical School in USA. He is now an Associate Professor at Shiraz University, Iran. While, he has been selected as one of the best 100 scientists among the Iranian experts active in the field of nanotechnology, in 2017, he won the Materials Today Cover Competition (Elsevier) and received the Second National Prize for Stem cell and Regenerative Medicine (Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology). He also have been consistently ranked in the top 2% of scientists worldwide in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 as recognized by the prestigious Stanford–Elsevier report. His current work is grounded in polymeric biomaterials, but seeks to cross disciplinary boundaries, involving preparation of polymer nanocomposites using new fabrication methods and developing new methods for preparation of bioactive nanoparticles.
