Prof. Mohammad Hosain Beheshty | Sustainable Technology | Best Researcher Award
Academic Staff, Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute, Iran
Prof. Mohammad Hosain Beheshty is a leading polymer scientist and Professor at the Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute (IPPI), renowned for his expertise in sustainable polymer technologies, thermoset composites, nanocomposites and prepreg processing. He earned his B.Sc. (1987) and M.Sc. (1991) in Polymer Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, and completed his Ph.D. in Polymer Composite Materials at the University of Bath, UK, in 1997. Since then, he has held numerous academic and executive positions at IPPI, including Head of Education, Deputy Director of Research Affairs, Head of Composites Department, and Director of the National Megaprojects Center under the Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology. His research interests include polymer composites, materials processing and innovation strategies for sustainable applications, supported by advanced skills in composite characterization, nondestructive testing, and resin quality control. With 74 Scopus-indexed publications, 1,576 citations and an h-index of 23, his work demonstrates both academic impact and industrial relevance. He has served on editorial boards of major polymer journals and chaired the Iran Composite Scientific Association (2016–2022). His honors include recognition as a Distinguished Academic Member of IPPI (2002) and Distinguished Research Manager of MSRT (2008). Prof. Beheshty’s career reflects outstanding research, leadership and commitment to advancing polymer science globally.
