Keynote Speaker Dr. Eiman Jahangir
Dr. Eiman Jahangir was born in Tehran, Iran and moved to Nashville, TN at age four. His childhood fascination with space led him to pursue a career in medicine and space exploration. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Religion at George Washington University and a Medical Doctorate from the University of Tennessee. He completed his medical training at Boston University Medical Center and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, specializing in Cardiovascular Medicine.
Eiman has pursued his interest in human space flight for over 20 years, including two finalist interviews for NASA's Astronaut Candidate program, and dreamed about going to space. He served as the medical officer for the Inclusion 1 mission at Biosphere2's Space Analog for the Moon and Mars (SAM). Eiman fulfilled his lifelong dream of going to space in August 2024 as a member of Blue Origin’s New Shepard-26 launch. After his space flight, he worked for Blue Origin as a CrewMember7, training astronauts and working in mission operations and research. Eiman is currently a Professor of Medicine and Radiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.
