Three Iranian Nanotechnology Scientists Receive National Allameh Tabatabayee Award
Dr. Abdollah Salimi, one of the prominent Iranian scientific figures in the field of nanochemistry, who is a professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Kurdistan and is considered one of the world's top 1% highly cited researchers was the first scientist who was awarded in the event. Dr. Salimi has a resume of membership in the editorial boards of three prestigious international journals.
Dr. Alireza Moshfeq, a distinguished professor of physics at Sharif University of Technology, is another winner of this year's Allameh Tabatabayee Award. He is one of the enduring figures in the field of nanotechnology and a researcher with over 180 prestigious scientific articles in international journals.
Dr. Ali Ramezani, a distinguished professor of organic chemistry at the University of Zanjan, is another leading Iranian scientific figures in the field of nanotechnology who received the Allameh Tabatabayee Award this year. He is also among the top 1% of highly cited researchers in the world and is recognized as an ISI international scientist.

Official figures said in November that Iran’s exports of nanotechnology products in the past Persian calendar year (ended on March 19) increased 110 percent compared to a year earlier.
Iranian producers exported $145 million of nanotechnology products in the mentioned year, according to the official figures.
Iran had exported $69 million worth of nanotechnology products on March 21, 2022, to March 21, 2023.
The total value of Iran’s nanotechnology products in the past year stood at $1.62 billion, of which about 91 percent was sold in domestic markets and only nine percent was exported.
Also, the sales of nano-based products in Iran in 2023 increased by 104 percent compared to 2022.
The nano-coating technologies, nano-composites, and nano-catalysts accounted for the major share of the domestic market.
