Kamran Daneshjoo (in Persian: کامران دانشجو) is an Iranian university professor who is currently serving as Iran's minister of Science, Research, and Technology.
Education
His web-site mentions that he has a BsC from "Queen Mary College" of U.K., a MsC from "Imperial Collage of London" and that he "studied for 3.5 years at Imperial College of London , U.K." and obtained his PhD by "The Viva examination held at Amirkabir University of technology,Iran Jun 1989"[1]. His claim of holding a PhD has been vastly disputed in the Persian blogs[2]; previously, his web-page mentioned "Manchester Imperial Institute of Science and Technology" as the institute granting the PhD[3]. It has been reported that when obtaining Majlis's vote of confidence, the parliament speaker Ali Larijani defended him, saying he obtained his certificate in Tehran after he was kicked out of a London college for "participating in a rally opposing" British writer Salman Rushdie[4].
It was reported by Mehr News Agency on August 30, 2009 that, following a probe into Daneshjoo's background during his ministerial nomination procedure, the chairman of the Education Committee of Iran's parliament, Ali Abbaspour-Tehrani announced: "He [Kamran Daneshjoo] does not have a PhD, either from London's Imperial College or from the Amirkabir University." [5].
Career
Before being selected as Iran's minister of Science, Research, and Technology, Kamran Daneshjoo was the head of the headquarters for the presidential election 2009. [6] He is accused by opposition leaders of being one of the engineers of election fraud. Kamran Daneshjou is the co-author of an article published in the journal Engineering with Computers in 2009. In many places the text duplicates verbatim that of an earlier paper: "Ricochet of a tungsten heavy alloy long-rod projectile from deformable steel plates", published by South Korean scientists in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics in 2002.

Plagiarism
On September 22, 2009, Nature, the prominent British scientific journal reported that "large chunks of text, figures, and tables in a 2009 paper co-authored by Kamran Daneshjou, Iran's science minister, are identical to those of a 2002 paper published by South Korean researchers".[7] On September 25, 2009, Springer, the publisher that Daneshjou's paper was submitted to, retracts paper by Iran's science minister. [8] Similar plagiarism has been found in three other papers by Daneshjou.[9] Iranian scientists said they intend to press for a plagiarism inquiry. [10] Another paper of him was retracted by journal of Engineering with computers.[11]
Gender segregation in universities
Daneshjou has also called for the segregation of university students based on gender in accordance with the "Islamic worldview." [12]
Ideological cleansing of universities
Daneshjoo has stated that he intends to remove university professors and students who do not have a proven commitment to Islam and the Velayat-e faqih. He has also blamed much of the current post-election unrest in Iranian universities on "subversive" behavior by students and professors. These statements are in violation of the Iranian constitution which in principal protects individuals from persecution due to religious and political beliefs, thought the Iranian regime has an extremely poor record of safeguarding its citizen's constitutional rights.[13]
