An important part of being Director of nanofolio is student recruitment. Sheffield has a large number of very good Iranian students, so it was worth going there. I also had the opportunity to visit three Universities to present some of the research that we are doing in Sheffield: Iran University of Science and Technology, Sharif University, and AmirKabir University. Parvaneh Mokarian, an Iranian Ph.D. student in the Polymer Physics group at the University of Sheffield, came with me to provide an Iranian perspective on life in Sheffield (and Leeds) to prospective students.
