Parviz Taslimi (Persian: پرویز تسلیمی, born July 10, 1919 in Qazvin, Iran[1]) was an Iranian chemical engineer.
Life
Taslimi belonged to the Bahá'í Faith.[2] He was related to Abdul Hussein Taslimi and Manouchehr Taslimi. From 1927 to 1933 he attended elementary school in Qazvin and then 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 chemical engineer in an oil refinery in Abadan. In 1948 he became a chemistry assistant at the University of Tehran and at the same time taught chemistry at Alborz College in Tehran. In 1954 he was appointed Deputy Head of the Chemical Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. In 1955 he went to Germany to work on the biosynthesis of the thyroid hormone at the University of Tübingen and received his Ph.D. in 1960.[1]
In Germany, Taslimi also studied the occurrence of thyroxamine in thyroid and plasma[3] before returning to Iran. In 1971–1972 (1350–1351 in the Persian calendar), he founded the Faculty of Science at the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz and was its first dean.[4] Due to the Islamic Revolution in 1979, he and his family faced difficulties because of their Bahá'í faith, and his children fled to Switzerland. Taslimi's widow Aladokht and children still live in Switzerland.[5] The filmmaker Omid Taslimi is one of their grandchildren.
