Our research follows 7,547 researchers, builders, lab leaders and public voices through cited biographies. Missing career records can lower counts. Outdated roles can overstate current counts and change ranks. Citation figures count 1 of the 1 people here now. People whose OpenAlex record may be incomplete or mixed are left out. Publication numbers from OpenAlex, as of 22 October 2026. Career and profile data as of 22 October 2026.
We estimate that 4 people shaping AI have worked or studied at Iran University of Science and Technology, including 1 (25%) here now and 3 with former affiliations. That total covers 3 people with work roles and 1 recorded only as a student (1 both studied and worked here). Among 3,127 universities, Iran University of Science and Technology is tied for 688th by all-time people and tied for 495th by current headcount. Science, health and biology leads 3 areas of expertise (2 of 4 people with profile topics). In dated work stints through 2025, active headcount peaked at 3 people in 2008–2013 and stood at 1 in 2025. Across dated career transitions, we record 1 full move in and 1 out.
