You guys have issues! She
by Shah mibakhshe, shahgholi ... (not verified) on Wed May 07, 2008 04:52 PM CDTYou guys have issues! She herself denies any Iranian heritage (see http://news.gooya.com/didaniha/archives/2008/05/07...), but then again who is this girl to know where she is from! This infantile effort to attach anything and anyone important to a certain ethnicity is neither new, nor important. But people who practice or propagate this self-delusion are truly pathetic. Be somebody yourself, what other people do or attain does not shine your image!

good for her. but I think
by alireza on Tue Apr 29, 2008 02:43 AM CDTgood for her. but I think calling her prfessor is little premature since she is still doing phd. having said that, it sounds he has become lecturer which is quite normal.
but all the best to her.
Young Professor?
by Not healthy (not verified) on Tue Apr 29, 2008 01:55 AM CDTFrom someone who is an Assitant Professor in a top North American institution I can say that first she is not a professor. If she still is working on her PH.D then she is NOT a professor but is probably hired to teach. Besides, this is nothing to be proud of. Kids like these grow up with abnormal childhood and will have lots of behavioral problems in adulthood
Not True!
by Concerned Iranian (not verified) on Mon Apr 28, 2008 09:26 PM CDTThere is nothing in Wikipedia that says she is Iranian. This is a forged version of the entry in Wikipedia. Iranian.com should not allow such misinformation to get in its wesbite. Kindly remove!
how true is this?
by doesnt compute (not verified) on Mon Apr 28, 2008 06:30 PM CDTI heard it on the radio but they did not mention "Iranian-American" and why is she working in So Korea?
Even Wikipedia says since she doesn't have her PHD yet she cannot be hired as assistant professor...
is this a hoax or is it real
she looks cute in her pic
Not an Iranian
by Mash_Ghasem (not verified) on Mon Apr 28, 2008 04:10 PM CDTHis father is from Pakistan and her mother is an
American. The Wikipedia entry is wrong. I got the info from her PhD advisor from Drexel University.
