Lotfi A. Zadeh: Only Death Made him Retire

Lofti A. Zadeh, the Iranian-American computer scientist and father of Fuzzy Logic, has died aged 96. Zadeh was considered to be one of the most important contemporary minds in computer science and mathematics. He held more than 35 honorary doctorates and many awards - from Japan, the US, Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran.
He is among the most cited scientists in the world. His ‘Fuzzy Logic’ concept was key to the tech revolution of the 1990s. Fuzzy Logic was used in the first ‘smart’ products, including Hitachi’s design of the metro system in Sendai, Japan. Retirement was a joke to Zadeh, who worked well into the tenth decade of his life, keeping up with ‘Fuzzy’ scientists everywhere.
He was born in Baku in 1921 to an Iranian merchant from Ardabil and a Russian Jewish doctor. He came to Tehran at the age of 10 and studied at Alborz High School.
Iran, Azerbaijan and US all try to claim him as their citizen. But he didn’t care much for these fights over him. The question really isn't whether I;m American, Russian, Iranian, Azerbaijani, or anything else.” I've been shaped by all these people and cultures and I feel quite comfortable among all of them,” he once said.

Lotfi Zadeh was not İranian scientist. He was originally Azerbaijanian scientist. He moved from Baku to America when he was 10 years old.
