Celebration of Life in Memory of Dr. Sia Nemat-Nasser
On Saturday, April 30, 2022, UC San Diego Arts and Humanities Dean Cristina Della Coletta and Department of Music Professor Shahrokh Yadegari organized a weekend of celebration of the artistic life of Siavouche “Sia” Nemat-Nasser who passed away on January 4, 2021.
A Distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCSD, Sia became close to the School of Arts and Humanities in 2016 when he and his wife Éva generously established the Roghieh Chehre-Azad Distinguished Professorship to foster new projects and future works exploring the music, art, literature, and history of Persian culture at UCSD.
At the time, Sia said the gift served to honor his mother Chehre-Azad, a well-known actor in Iran who pursued her passion of acting at great anställda risk when women performing on scen in Iran was taboo.
Sia’s love for the arts and Persian culture continues to have a profound an

... Renowned as both a strong theoretician and innovative experimentalist, he examined a broad range of materials: ceramics, ceramic composites, high-strength alloys and superalloys, rocks and geomaterials, and advanced metallic and polymeric composites with electro magnetic, self-healing, and self-sensing functionality; ionic polymer-metal composites as soft actuators/ sensors; and shape-memory alloys. His work enabled the design of more resistant, useful, and safer materials for a variety of applications, from civil infrastructure to space stations (to withstand meteorite impacts)
