Professor at German University Shares Sweet Childhood Memories from Iran
Independent Aggregator of Iran-related News/events, Kodoom.com: Professor Madjid Fathi, a Director at Siegen University in Germany has recently shared his sweet childhood memories from his birthplace in Iran. Born in 1956 in the small town of Kashmar to a farmer father and homemaker mother, Fathi credits his diligence and hard work to contentment in his early life due to modest resources and limited choices. Their town had only one cinema and one dirt covered soccer field. He says: "Farm life meant hard work but we were happy. Back then kicking a plastic ball on the dirt roads made us happy, we did not need the latest mobile phones or gadgets to be happy!"
After finishing his early college in Iran, Fathi moved to Aachen, Germany where his uncle lived to work on his computer science degree followed by a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Dortmund. Since 2007 Fathi has been the Director of the Center for Knowledge Management and Intelligent Systems (KMIS) at Siegen University in Germany says he is in touch with many young people in Iran and loves to go back to Iran as often as possible. He believes economic growth, meritocracy and specialization would greatly benefit Iranian society.
