Dr. Alireza Mohammadi is a distinguished graduate and top student in both undergraduate and master's programs at Shahid Beheshti University. He completed his Ph.D. in 2006 with first-rank admission, focusing on the spatial analysis of advanced services in Tehran under the supervision of Dr. Mozaffar Sarrafi. In 2014, he earned a postdoctoral research degree in Urban Planning from the University of Tehran. Dr. Mohammadi joined the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili in 2013, becoming a Full Professor in 2018, specializing in Geography and Urban Planning.


Education

The most recent postdoctoral degree from the University of Tehran


Awards

I take pride in being a researcher driven purely by a passion for research and teaching. I do not believe in competing for awards or honorary titles in so-called scientific competitions, nor do I see the value of science in such measures. In my view, all people, especially those active in science and research, possess unique talents that cannot be compared or ranked by existing metrics


Memberships

Honorary/volunteer reviewer for international journals
