This the picture of Dr Mohsen Moghadam that I took it from his collection in his home, (Moghadam Museum) in Tehran.
Unfortunately not many Iranian nor Westerners knows about him except few. During my visit I met Mr Assadullah Mirza Aghajani, the museum keeper, who helped me by sending the Farsi version of Dr Moghadam's biography.

Dr Mohsen Moghadam (1279 – 1366)
This beautiful house became a museum after the death Mr Mohsen Moghaddam and his wife, Salma Koyomjian. Moghaddam donated his house to the Art and Archeology Departments of the University of Tehran to be used by students and researchers studying Persian.

During his period, he undertook many scientific, research projects in universities and other national institutes.
Moghaddam was the first Iranian to take Legion of Honour from Charles de Gaulle. He also received the Palm medallion.
Dr Moghadam designed the emblem of the University of Tehran. It is based on an image, which can be found in the stucco relief and seals of the Sasanid period. In this case, it is a copy from a stucco relief discovered in the city of Taysafun [Ctesiphon].

University of Tehran The history of the establishment of University in Iran dates back to the year 1851 and the establishment of Darolfonoon – which was founded as a result of the efforts of Mirza Taghi Khan Amir Kabir, aiming at training and teaching Iranian experts on many fields of sciences. In the year 1928, Professor Mahmood Hesabi proposed the subject of running a center which could be comprehensive or cover most of the sciences to (Ali Asghar Hekmat) the then Minister of Culture.
