He was a passenger on Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752. On 8 January 2020, the aircraft, operating a scheduled passenger service from Tehran to Kyiv, was shot down shortly after takeoff by air defense missiles fired by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killing all 176 people on board.
Milad Nahavandi was a member of the research team in Professor Zhou's laboratory at Western University, focusing on the process of converting sugars into chemicals for use in bio-based polymers (plastics). He was working on finding a replacement for PET (polyethylene terephthalate), the most recycled plastic in the world, used in everyday consumer items like water bottles, with sugar-based polymers.
Last summer, Nahavandi spent four months in Germany working with the Technical University of Darmstadt under the supervision of engineering professor Markus Rose.
His trip to Iran last month had two purposes. Nahavandi intended to visit family and friends during the holidays while also completing the steps for a temporary visa for his family. He was planning for his family to be in London this summer.
