Biography

Faraham Ahmadzadeh is an associate professor of biodiversity and nature conservation in the Department of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management at the Environmental Sciences Research Institute of Shahid Beheshti University in Iran. He earned his Ph.D. in Biology from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Bonn University in Germany in 2013. With over two decades of experience, he has dedicated his work to biodiversity and wildlife conservation. He has authored over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and mentored 40 postgraduate students, focusing on molecular biodiversity, molecular ecology, and conservation. He has collaborated on national and international projects, honing his teamwork skills. Over the last nine years, he has been recognized four times as one of the top researchers at his university in Iran. He encourages his working group to analyze ecological and evolutionary processes that have shaped the diversity of life on our planet and to cultivate a profound appreciation for the natural world.
