Seifallah Randjbar-Daemi (Persian:سیف الله رنجبر دائمی, born 1950) is an Iranian theoretical physicist. He is currently an emeritus scientist at theInternational Centre for Theoretical Physics.[1]
Seifallah Randjbar-Daemi received hisPhD in 1980 fromImperial College London,University of London,UK. Randjbar-Daemi's contributions are in the area of theoreticalhigh energy physics,quantum field theory,superstring theory,supersymmetry andsupergravity theories in all dimensions andcosmology.
He collaborated withAbdus Salam very closely at both scientific and humanitarian level since his student days at Imperial College.[2] He joined theInternational Centre for Theoretical Physics(ICTP) in 1988 as Research Physicist and Coordinator of the High energy Section. Previously he had been at the Department of Theoretical Physics,University of Zurich. In 1994, he was designated as head of the High Energy Group at ICTP. In August 2005, he was promoted to assistant director of ICTP. Since April 2011, he served as the acting deputy director until his retirement on 31 December 2015.
He initiated several programmes in ICTP, for instance, the Diploma Programme and the special basic physics programme forSub-Saharan African students. He has contributed to ICTP in many ways which are at times beyond his professional responsibilities. When ICTP was on the verge of a shutdown due to major financial crisis in 1991, his interaction with the scientific community of Iran prompted the minister of science and higher education to provide ICTP with a loan, which ensured the continuation of ICTP's operation.[3]
Because of his outstanding contributions in promoting science and technology in the developing countries, he received the Spirit of Abdus Salam Award in the year of 2016.
