Dr. Mohammad Nami is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Clinical Neuropsychology at the School of Health Sciences and Psychology, Canadian University Dubai. Dr Nami is an associate member of the Harvard Medical School Alumni, and member of the Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs. Mohammad Nami is the Director of the Brain, Cognition, and Behavior Unit at the BrainHub UAE, as well as former Head of the Department of Neuroscience and Vice Chancellor for Research and Technology Affairs, School of Advanced Medical Sciences and Technologies, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

His main areas of research and clinical practice are medical/cognitive neuroscience, cognitive neuropsychology, neuroscience of sleep, neuro-cognitive fitness, neurological aspects of sleep disorders and related interventions. He believes that mental health and sleep health awareness need to be copromoted, as one does not come without the other. As such, his career has been dedicated to helping people achieve their infinite brain/cognitive, and affective potentials in relation to sleep and mental aptitude.
