Early Life and Education
Parsa Ghannadi was born in Tabriz, Iran, in July 1995 and grew up in Ahar, a small city northwest of the country. From a young age, he was keenly interested in mathematics and algorithms, research, programming, web development, computer-aided design, and calculation. He preferred the Mathematics & Physics major in high school and graduated in 2013. Parsa pursued his undergraduate studies at Islamic Azad University, Ahar Branch, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering in 2016 within only six semesters and achieving an excellent GPA. Subsequently, he continued his education in structural engineering at the same university and received a Master of Science degree with outstanding academic accomplishment in 2019. In 2019 and 2021, Parsa was granted the Top Graduate of the Foundation award from Iran’s National Elites Foundation.
