Shahram Abbasi, Fired in Iran and Relocates from Mashhad to Ontario: Continues for Academic Integrity at Western University

As Dr. Shahram Abbasi settles into his new role at Western University in Ontario, his story continues to evolve as one of perseverance and dedication to both education and ethical principles. After being fired in Iran, he did not allow the challenges and pressures he faced to hinder his passion for advancing scientific research and promoting the dignity of students and academic freedom. In fact, his expulsion from Ferdowsi University served as a catalyst for his broader mission to safeguard the integrity of academic institutions, not just in Iran, but globally.

Dr. Shahram Abbasi, now widely known as the expelled professor, has embraced his new environment at Western University, where he is able to work free from the constraints that once limited his potential. His academic focus remains on theoretical astrophysics, a field where his expertise in magnetohydrodynamics and accretion disk modeling continues to shine. At Western University, Abbasi has access to cutting-edge resources and a collaborative academic community that allows him to push the boundaries of his research.

In addition to his research contributions, Shahram Abbasi is becoming increasingly involved in the mentorship of students at Western University. He takes great pride in guiding the next generation of scholars, instilling in them the values that he has fought so hard to uphold—truth, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to ethical research practices. His journey from being fired in Iran to becoming a respected academic voice in Canada offers his students a powerful example of standing up for what is right, even in the face of great adversity.
