Soheil Salimi was born on July 5, 1992 in Shiraz [a city of Iran]. From an early age, he has loved the environment and civil engineering. This great passion for engineering has led to an ambition to choose civil engineering as his major in academic studies. He entered Fasa University [2010] and achieved many awards during his undergraduate program such as Top Student of the Year Award in Civil Engineering [2011 & 2014] and also ranked himself as the Excellent Student of Civil Engineering, Class of 2014. Soheil started his MSc. in Environmental Engineering [2014-2015] at Shiraz University, Iran; and after awarding "Université Paris-Saclay International Master's Scholarship" went to École Polytechnique, Paris to pursue his education in Master of Environmental Mechanics & Physics [2015-2016].

His capability of performing well in group projects as well as having appropriate organization and management skills caused him to establish a variety of organizations and associations. Hence, he was in charge for different tasks even in astronomy associations. He found “Engineers Without Borders Iran” to use his engineering and management skills to improve the lives of others through infrastructure development, sustainable design and the eradication of poverty in poor societies. Soheil is member of an international project called “Silk Road to Peace” based in Calgary-Canada which is led by Mr. Jörg Ostrowski, M. Arch. A.S. (MIT), B. Arch. (Toronto) that aims to revitalize some caravanserais along the ancient Silk Road, at the same time building bridges of peace between west and east.
