Early life and education edit

S.K. Sadrnezhaad was born and raised in Tehran. He earned his bachelor’s degree with distinction (first rank) from the Sharif (Aryamehr), the University of Technology, in July 1974. Then he attended the materials science and engineering department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received a Ph.D. in February 1979. He conducted his Ph.D. thesis work under John Frank Elliot's direction to determine the DRI pellets' melting rate in steelmaking slags. Following this, he spent six months as a postdoc fellow under the supervision of John Frank Elliot at the same department to study the specification of the sulfur-containing emissions from the coal combustion and metallurgical plants and another six months as Jefe de Ingenieria Metallurgica in HYL Tecnologia of Monterrey, NL, Mexico (1979–1980).
