Parwiz Taslimi (Persian: پرویز تسلیمی, born July 10, 1919 in Qazvin, Iran[1]) was an Iranian chemical engineer.
Life[edit]
Taslimi belonged to the Bahá'í Faith[2], and was related to Abdul Hussein and Manouchehr Taslimi. From 1927 to 1933 he attended the elementary school in Qazvin and then the upper school in Tehran, where he passed the matriculation examination in 1941. He studied chemistry at Tehran University of Technology and received a diploma in chemistry there in 1945. In 1946 he married Aladokht Alai (born 1928), with whom he had several children. From 1947 to 1948 he worked as a chemistry engineer in an oil refinery in Abadan. In 1948 he became a chemistry assistant at the University of Tehran and at the same time gave chemistry lessons at the Alborz College in Tehran. In 1954 he was appointed Deputy Head of the Chemical Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. In 1955, the University of Tehran granted him a doctorate degree in Germany, where he was working on the biosynthesis of the thyroid hormone at the University of Tübingen and got the Ph.D. in 1960.[1]
In Germany, Taslimi also worked on occurrence of thyroxamine in thyroid and plasma[3] before returning to Iran. In 1971-1972 (persian calendar: 1350-1351), he founded the Faculty of Science of the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz and was its first dean.[4] As a consequence of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, he and his family were in trouble because of their Bahá'í Faith, and his children fled to Switzerland. Taslimi′s widow Aladokht and children live still in Switzerland,[5] the filmmaker Omid Taslimi is one of their grandchildren.
