Siamak Yassemi (Persian: سیامک یاسمی) is an Iranian mathematician and is currently an Associate Professor of Practice at Purdue University. He previously served as Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science at the University of Tehran, Iran.[2]
Yassemi's research is in commutative algebra and homological algebra, with connections to combinatorics. His work has included the study of monomial ideals and their relationships with graphs and other combinatorial structures.[3]
Yassemi is a member of the Academy of Sciences of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He has received the COMSTECH International Award, the 22nd Khwarizmi International Award in Basic Science, and an International Award from the University of Tehran, among other honors.
He served as Vice President of the University College of Sciences at the University of Tehran for more than three years, ending in 2007. He was also head of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences for more than two years. In 2015, he became head of the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science at the University of Tehran.
In 2018, Yassemi was elected a Fellow of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS).[4]
In 2019, Yassemi was named a Chevalier of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques for his contributions to academic and scientific cooperation, including the Jundi-Shapur scientific research projects, student and faculty exchanges, and the organization of schools and conferences.
Life
Yassemi was born in 1959 in Khorramshar, Iran.
Education
Yassemi received his high school diploma from Alborz High School in Tehran in 1977. He received his B.Sc. in mathematics from Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran in 1985 and his M.Sc. in mathematics, specializing in geometry and topology, from the University of Kerman in 1988. He completed his PhD in mathematics under the supervision of Hans-Bjørn Foxby at the University of Copenhagen in March 1994. He has since devoted a substantial part of his career to mathematical education.[5]
Honours
In 2009, he received the Khwarizmi International Award in basic sciences and in the same year he received the COMSTECH international award. The title of the project that won the prize was "Homological and Combinatorial Methods in Commutative Algebra". He was an associate member of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Trieste, Italy) for eight years (1996–2004). He's visited the Max Planck Institut für Mathematik in Bonn, the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in Paris, and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai several times.
In 2018, The World Academy of Sciences elected him a fellow member. That would make him the first Iranian mathematician who has ever been a member of TWAS.[6]
In 2019, he was named Chevalier of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques for distinguished efforts in extended multi-dimensional cooperation.
