نبذة عن العالم الإيراني المغتال مسعود علي محمدي

مسعود محمدي (1960 - 12 يناير 2010)، عالم نووي إيراني متخصص في الفيزياء الرياضية. اغتيل بإنفجار استهدفه عندما كان خارجاً من منزله للذهاب إلى الجامعة في طهران. اتهمت إيران الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل بالمسؤولية عن الحادث، بينما نفت وزارة الخارجية الأمريكية الإتهامات الإيرانية (ويكبيديا العربية).

أما النبذة الإنكليزية فهي تؤكد أهمية هذا العالم النظرية:

Masoud Alimohammadi (Persian: مسعود علی‌محمدی) (c. 1960 – 12 January 2010) was an Iranian quantum field theorist and elementary-particle physicist and a distinguished professor of elementary particle physics at Department of Physics of University of Tehran.[1] He was assassinated on the morning of 12 January 2010 (some minutes before 8 o'clock, local time) in front of his home in Tehran, while leaving for university.[2] He was buried in Emamzādeh Ali-Akbar Chizar [3] in Tehran on Thursday 14 January 2010.[4] [5]

Professor Alimohamadi was the first PhD graduate student in physics of the Sharif University of Technology. He published some 53 research articles in peer-reviewed academic journals[6] and wrote and translated several physics textbooks,[7] including Modern Quantum Mechanics, revised edition, by J. J. Sakurai, which he translated from English into Persian in collaboration with Hamidreza Moshfegh.

Education

He entered Shiraz University in 1978 where he obtained his BSc in 1985. He subsequently moved to the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, to study for his MSc in Physics. In 1988 he began with his PhD studies at this University as one of its first PhD students in physics. He obtained his PhD there in 1992.
[edit] Research and achievements

He was a quantum field theorist with interests in such diverse fields as Condensed matter physics (Quantum Hall effect in curved geometries), cosmology (modified gravity, dark energy, etc.) and string theory.[8] Although field-theoretical methods have wide-ranging applications in many branches of theoretical physics (and applied mathematics), quantum field theory is a subject matter quite distinct from nuclear physics, in particular its applied branch which is concerned with nuclear power in general and nuclear weapons in particular. Consequently, the reports in some media that Professor Alimohammadi was a nuclear physicist are unequivocally incorrect. Iran's Atomic Energy Agency has in an official statement rejected the media reports that Professor Alimohammadi was associated with Iran's nuclear program.[9]

Professor Alimohammadi was a Council Member of International Centre for Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science Applications in the Middle East.[10] He was a professor at Tehran University's Physics faculty as well as a professor at Imam Hossein University.[11][12]

لم أنقل الناحية السياسية للموضوع ولكن ما يهمني هو لائحة الأبحاث التي قام بها في الفيزياء النظرية وهي ترنوا إلى 53 بحثاً (في 17 سنة) في أهم المجلات الفيزيائية النظرية (هشام يستطيع أن يفيدنا في ذلك، ولائحة أبحاثه توجد على الرابط التالي:
