Kamran Daneshjoo height - How tall is Kamran Daneshjoo?

Daneshjoo has been on the sanction list of the European Union since December 2011 due to his alleged role in the Iran's missile development and nuclear program.

It was also reported by the Mehr News Agency on 30 August 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, neither from London's Imperial College nor from the Amirkabir University."

Before being selected as Iran's minister of science, research, and technology, Daneshjoo was the head of Country's Election Headquarters for the 2009 Iranian presidential election. He is accused by opposition leaders of being one of the engineers of election fraud.

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.

On 22 September 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". On 25 September 2009, Springer, the publisher that Daneshjou's paper, was submitted to, retracts paper by Iran's science minister. Similar plagiarism has been found in three other papers by Daneshjou. Iranian scientists said they intend to press for a plagiarism inquiry. Another paper for which he took credit has since been retracted by Engineering with Computers.

His web-site, Where?, claims he has a Bs.C. degree from Queen Mary College (UK) and an Ms.C. degree from Imperial College, after which at some point he was expelled from the UK and restricted from entering the Schengen Area due to a prior arson attempt at the Penguin Book Store in London. He obtained his PhD by "The Viva examination held at Amirkabir University of technology, Iran June 1989". His claim to have earned a PhD has been disputed in Persian language blogs; previously, his web-page mentioned the Manchester Imperial Institute of Science and Technology as the institute granting the Ph.D.

Kamran Daneshjoo (Persian: کامران دانشجو ‎; born 2 February 1956) is an Iranian university professor who was Minister of Science from 2009 to 2013.
