  • For ZAREEI, scientific research is more than just a way to explore the world—it is a kind of spiritual practice: seeking truth in experiments and data, finding resilience through every failure. From the childhood wish sparked by witnessing maritime accidents, to serving as an on-scene commander at real disaster sites, and now to becoming a scholar dedicated to ship structure and safety—his reverence for life is etched into every decision and action he takes. His story is a vivid testament to the idea that science knows no borders, and that the destinies of humanity are deeply intertwined.
