The loss of the influential Dr. Ali Asghar Katbab, one of the esteemed and pioneering professors of the Faculty of Polymer and Color Engineering, is deeply saddening.
The deeply saddening loss of Dr. Ali Asghar Katbab, one of the esteemed and pioneering professors of the Faculty of Polymer and Color Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology, who dedicated his precious life to educating students and professionals, is extended condolences to his respected family and the scientific community of the country, especially the members of Amirkabir University.
We pray for the departed soul to rest in peace and for patience and solace for the bereaved family.
According to the Public Relations Office of Amirkabir University of Technology, Dr. Ali Asghar Katbab, a distinguished professor of the Faculty of Polymer Engineering, opened his eyes to the world in Shiraz on July 17, 1951. Dr. Katbab obtained his bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Shiraz University, then went to the UK with a scholarship from the Ministry of Science and obtained his master's and doctorate degrees in Polymer Physical Chemistry from the University of Aston in Birmingham. In 1980, after completing his doctoral studies, he returned to Iran and worked in the tire industry, eventually becoming the manager of compounding and R&D at the Iran Tire Factory.
In 1982, the late Dr. Katbab joined the faculty of Amirkabir University of Technology as a faculty member and began his activities in the Faculty of Chemical Engineering. He made significant efforts to establish the Rubber Engineering and Plastic Engineering workshops and launch the Polymer Engineering program. Additionally, he initiated the Polymer Engineering department at the Islamic Azad University (Science and Research Branch) and taught and conducted research there for 13 years.
The late Dr. Katbab offered courses in Elastomer Engineering at the undergraduate level, and in the determination of properties, specifications, and applications of nanopolymeric materials, as well as innovative methods of polymer analysis and advanced polymer identification at the master's and doctoral levels.
Dr. Katbab, may he rest in peace, published three books on rubber, titled "Science and Engineering of Rubbers" and "Elastomeric Nanocomposite Foams", and "Shape Memory Polymers (Principles, Achievements, and Applications)".
Dr. Katbab supervised and guided 109 students at the master's and doctoral levels. Among his first doctoral students, we can mention Dr. Hamid Mirzadeh and Dr. Fatemeh Goharpai, who are now professors at the Faculty of Polymer and Color Engineering.
The Public Relations Office of Amirkabir University of Technology extends its condolences to the academic community, students, and the honorable family of the esteemed scientific figure. We pray for eternal peace and divine forgiveness for the departed soul and patience and well-being for the survivors.
Information regarding the funeral, burial, and memorial service will be announced shortly.
