Meet Iran’s Next Bill Gates: A Dropout-medical Student (pic) by Nobody: 8:54am On Jul 31, 2015
I just found this piece of information thought it would inspire young minds to pursue their dreams.
TEHRAN, Jul. 29 (MNA) – A young scientist, computer
programmer and inventor, named Sajjad Yaghoubi has
grabbed the media's attention nationally and somewhat
internationally in the past few years.
The tall, skinny and olive-skinned Yaghoubi was born 23
years ago in Maku, a city in the farthest Northwest of Iran-
in West Azarbaijan Province- which also sits on the border
of Iran and turkey.
Born into a middle-income family, Sajjad was the third of
four children and the only son of the family. He completed
primary school all the way to high school in his small
hometown of Maku.
However, the small-sized town with only a few learning
facilities and a limited number of educational centers
couldn’t bring him down.
Already at an early age he began to satisfy his curiosity in
robots by dismantling toys and machines in order to figure
out the function of each part.
If that weren’t bad enough, he would even sell his stuff to
buy robot parts.
On that topic, Sajjad even had a story to recount for the
Tehran Times.
On one of his birthdays, his father surprised him with a
brand new cell phone as a birthday gift. The very next day,
however, when his father could not locate his son via his
cell phone, Sajjad had to confess that he had sold the pricey
phone in exchange for some robotic parts for his next
creation.
During 6th grade, with no guidance at his disposal, Sajjad
tapped into the world of ‘robotics’.
Although it only seemed an interest to him at first, the field
of robotics would open up many possibilities to him later on
and win him plenty of awards and prizes.
On his journey into the robotics world, Sajjad encountered a
lot of “naysayers” who mocked him and tried to cast a
gloom over his dreams, but little did they know that his
strong resolve would block out all of them.
It goes without saying that Sajjad must’ve had wonderful
mentors along the path. In fact, he named his father and late
uncle as his inspirational and motivational gurus.
Since his town of residency had a limited number of books
available to the public, particularly on his favorite topic,
robotics, Sajjad’s uncle, whom he called a genius, mailed
out around 20 books on biology and robotics to him each
month from Tehran.
“I would read the books voraciously, knowing full well that
more would be on the way in the following months to get my
hands on,” he recalled.
In addition to winning the first nationwide award in robotics
while still on his second year of junior high school, Sajjad
also took the second place at the Robocup World
Competition in Germany in 2009, and got the gold medal in
Belgium at the World Invention Competition in the same
year.
Ever since Sajjad was a young boy, he knew he wanted to
contribute to the world and help people. But it wasn’t until
he arrived in high school that he reaffirmed his obligation to
the world and rechanneled his energy to incorporate robots
into the medical industry to assist the ailing people.
While still in high school, he built somewhere around 40
different robots: from soccer, humanoid, autonomous,
rescue and earth quake rescue robots to aerial, basic
surgical, agricultural, military and industrial path finder
robots.
As a high school student, Sajjad won numerous prizes at
various competitions including: first place at the Malaysian
invention innovation technology competition, best special
prize at the Korean under 18 world inventions Olympiads,
and the special prize of best under 18 inventor in Asia.
One of his inventions, which Sajjad takes great pride in, is
called the “eye exercise equipment”. The device, patented in
his name when he was only 16, isolates the extraocular
muscles and relieves eye tiredness in just five minutes by
improving the blood circulation in them.
The useful equipment is already out in the market in Turkey
and goes for $400.
After graduating with honors from high school, Sajjad
decided to go abroad to further his education in an area
where Iran had already lagged behind due to years of
imposed sanctions by the West.
Higher education institutions in the States and Europe were
off limits since his mother wasn’t willing to send her sole
beloved son to faraway lands.
So, Sajjad picked Turkey where he had already been granted
a scholarship from Bahcesehir University department of
medical school in Istanbul.
A year after his arrival in Turkey, he began observing
surgeons in operating theaters where he got to assess the
design flaws of medical equipment used during surgeries in
order to improve their precision and accuracy.
It was then that Sajjad decided to launch his company and
began selling his inventions, his company runs successfully
to this day in Turkey.
While in university, Sajjad continued his outstanding
performances, which once again won him many more
medals and accolades in competitions.
The list includes: gold medal at the invention world
competition in Germany in medical field 2011, silver medal
at the Russian innovation and technology contest in 2011,
the world's best & youngest inventor of 2012 in Croatia, gold
medal at the European and World Competition in Romania in
2012 in medical field, gold medal for the largest invention
competition in the world in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2013,
gold special prize of USA invention competition as the best
creative inventor in 2014, best paper of world medical
student congress in Ankara, Turkey in 2014; he was
awarded the youngest peace spokesman from Iran and
turkey in USA model UN students congress 2014, and last
but not least he took the 3rd place at the Geneva invention
competition 2015.
Sajjad said that in January 2016 he will participate at CES, a
global consumer electronics and consumer technology
tradeshow, in Las Vegas, Nebada to present his latest
inventions.
He continued to study medicine for three years until one day
he decided the world of academia wasn’t feeding his dream
fast enough since he wanted undertake research in
operating rooms.
Sajjad decided to call it quits and leave the academic world
behind in Turkey. He is now planning to move to the States,
to pick up where he left it off in Turkey and to get on with
his dream projects.
With a company in Turkey already established under his
name and a new office in Tehran, the third-year college
drop-out, Sajjad, has made a name for himself so much so
that his name is known to everyone in his hometown.
With 15 patents, so far, under his name, and surely many
more to come, Sajjad’s mind is constantly buzzing with new
ideas, trying to find solutions for unsolved problems.
It is just a matter of time before Sajjad’s name captures the
world’s attention and becomes an international icon with his
new discoveries and inventions.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Sajjad has made a leap at
such young age; he already has fame and wealth.
The report was first published at Tehran Times.
