“Dara Moazzami”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Dara Moazzami was born from a famous and well-educated family. He was born on December 10, 1949 in Tehran, Iran. He attended the highly prestigious Alborz High School located in the heart of Tehran, Iran.

His parents were originally from Golpayegan, Isfahan province. His father, the late Amir Gholi Moazzami had always been a big proponent of education and sciences. He attended the French School and High School “Saint Louis” which had been established by the French Government in Tehran. After graduating High School, he received a BA degree in Law from University of Tehran and practiced as a Judge. Meanwhile, he continued his education in “Danesh Sara Ali” in two very different disciplines and received a BSc in Mathematics, a BA in Persian literature, as well as a BA in French Literature. He also enjoyed journalism and established the “Nakhoda newspaper” maintained it for several years thereafter. He also was a poet and the author of a textbook on “Ashg Ashegh” meaning “The Lover’s Tears”.

Dara's uncle, Dr. Abdollah Moazzami was a famous professor of law at the University of Tehran who received his Ph.D. in law under the supervision of Professor Gilbert Gidel.^[1]^[2] He was also a member of Iranian Parliament for four consecutive terms from 1944 to 1953.^[3] In 1953 he was elected as the Chairman of the Parliament. Dara's other uncle, the late Seyfollah Moazzami was an electrical engineer and a minister of post and telegraph in the second cabinet of the Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh.^[4] Growing up in such a family influenced Dara Moazzami and he eventually moved to Canada to study mathematics. He received a B.Sc in Pure Mathematics in 1976, and an M.Sc in Applied Mathematics in 1978,^[5] from the University of Quebec-Montreal in Canada.

Career

After graduating from the University of Quebec-Montreal, he returned to Iran and started working at Bu-Ali Sina University in the city of Hamedan. In 1986, while he was in Hamedan, Dr. Moazzami translated a book on Differential and Integral Calculus by Piskunov^[6] into Farsi. He got married there and later moved to the United States with his family to obtain a doctorate in applied mathematics. In 1992, he received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics (Graph Theory) from the University of Northeastern-Boston MA, under the supervision of Professor Margaret Cozzens and Professor Samuel Keith Stueckle.^[7] He worked as an Assistant Professor for the 1991-1993 academic years in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Barry-Miami, in Florida. After that, he returned to Iran and started his teaching and research career in the College of Engineering at the University of Tehran in 1993. He was the Head of Engineering Library (2000-2003), Associate Dean of the College of Engineering (2003-2006), Deputy of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies at the Department of Engineering Basic Science (2006-2008), and finally the Chairman of the Department of Engineering Science (2007-2017). He also founded the Journal of Algorithms and Computation and has remained as its Editor-in-Chief till present.

Between the years of 1993 and 2003, he worked as a research scientist at the Center for Theoretical Physics and Mathematics as well as the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. He is a research staff member at Engineering Optimization Research Group (2002–present) and a member of the Board of "Center of Excellence of Geomatic Engineering" (2005–present).

He was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), USA (2010-2012).

His main research interests include Graph Theory, Advanced Algorithms, Complexity Theory, and Approximation Algorithm, in particular, Vulnerability in Networks and Tenacity parameter. The concept of graph tenacity was introduced by Dara Moazzami and his professors Cozzens and Stueckle as a measure of network vulnerability and reliability.^[8]^[9]

Dara Moazzami is the translator of the widely used and popular textbook on "Graph Theory" by J. A. Bondy and U.S.R. Murty^[10] and "Combinatorics" by Bela Bollobas.^[11] He is also the author of a textbook on "Differential Equations", which is widely used by Iranian students all over the world. He is the translator of textbook on "Abstract Algebra: Theory and Application" by Thomas W. Judson, (2017). He is also the author of three textbooks on "Tenacity Parameter and Their Application in Designing Stable Networks" and "Stability and Vulnerability in Networks" and "Graph Drawing". Two more books "Advanced Algorithm: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness" and "Approximation Algorithms" are currently in works.

The Tenacity of a Graph

Professor Moazzami's research interests lie on the field of Graph Theory, Advanced Algorithms, Complexity Theory, and Approximation Algorithm. Particularly, he is interested in vulnerability in networks and tenacity parameter. The concept of graph tenacity was introduced by Cozzens, Moazzami, and Stueckle in their landmark studies^[12]

Conceptually, graph vulnerability relates to the study of graph intactness when parts of its elements are removed. The motivation for studying vulnerability measures is derived from the design and analysis of networks in a hostile environment. Graph tenacity has been an active area of research since the concept was introduced in 1992.^[15]^[16] Dr. Moazzami introduced two measures of network vulnerability termed the tenacity, T (G), and the Mix-tenacity, Tm (G), of a graph. The tenacity T (G) of a graph G is defined as

Department of Engineering Science

After the establishment of the University of Tehran in 1934, the College of Engineering, as one of the first six faculties of the University was founded through the efforts made by the late Professor Mahmoud Hesabi. It began its activities by admitting 40 students in the fields of Civil, Electromechanical, and Mining Engineering in the same year.

One of the oldest departments in the College of Engineering at the University of Tehran was the Department of Engineering Basic Sciences which was established to provide general courses such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, literature and so on for the engineering students.^[18] Later, in 2007, under supervision of Prof. Dara Moazzami this department became the Department of Engineering Science, which he became a Chairman of. Since Dr. Moazzami was the leader of the team to establish the first Department of Engineering Science (University of Tehran) in Iran, he has been entitled as the Father of Engineering Science in Iran.

The Engineering Science Program is a multi-departmental and interdisciplinary program. This undergraduate program encompasses a variety of closely related areas of physics, mathematical sciences, and engineering. It is intended to provide a means whereby students can acquire knowledge of engineering methods, while pursuing their interests in areas of natural science. The options offered within the curriculum prepare students for advanced studies in engineering and science. There are three fully structured majors in the curriculum including* Computational Engineering Science

Department of Algorithms and Computation

With efforts of Prof. Dara Moazzami, the Department of Algorithms and Computation was established in 2005 when he became the Chairman of the Faculty of Engineering Science.

Master of Science and PhD in Algorithms and Computation cover very broad areas of algorithms and computation. The scope of this program includes both theoretical and applied research from these fields. The main aim of this program is to promote the exchange of ideas in this active research community. The specific themes targeted for Master of science in Algorithms and Computation are Computational Geometry, Algorithms and Data Structures, Approximation Algorithms, Randomized Algorithms, Graph Drawing and Graph Algorithms, Combinatorial Algorithms, Graphs in Bioinformatics, String Algorithms, Combinatorial Optimization, Computational Biology, Computational Finance, Cryptography, and Parallel and Distributed Algorithms.

The Journal of Algorithms and Computation

The Journal of Algorithms and Computation, currently, published in English, is a continuation of the Journal of the Faculty of Engineering "Fani" at the University of Tehran. This Journal has been publishing in Farsi from 1980 till 2012. The Journal of "Fani" published 43 volumes during this period. Following 2012, the Faculty of Engineering has concluded to have several journals in English.

The aim of the Journal of Algorithms and Computation is to bring together research papers in different areas of algorithmic and applicable discrete mathematics as well as applications of combinatorial mathematics to informatics and various areas of science and technology. Contributions presented to the journal can be research papers, short notes, surveys, and possibly research problems. The "Communications" section will be devoted to the fastest possible publication of the brief outlines of recent research results, the detailed presentation of which might be submitted for possible publication in the Journal of Algorithms and Computation or elsewhere. The journal also publishes a limited number of book announcements as well as proceedings of conferences. These proceedings are fully reviewed and adhere to the general standards of the journal. The founder (and also the Editor-in-Chief) of the journal is Dara Moazzami. The members of the editorial board are Kambiz Badie, Eiichi Bannai, Helene Barcelo, Richard A. Brualdi, Hassan Emamirad, Hans-Dietrich Gronau, Gyula O. H. Katona, Daniel Kleitman, Jacobus H. Koolen, Charles C. Lindner, Spyros Magliveras, Mirka Miller, Ali Moeini, Ali Movaghar, Talmage James Reid, Akira Saito, Richard P. Stanley, Walter Denis Wallis, and Qiang (Steven) Wang.
