It is believed that the name of the grape Shiraz was taken from that of the city of Shiraz, Iran, where the process of winemaking is believed to have originated 7000 years ago.
Shiraz University, formerly known as Pahlavi University, placed in city of Shiraz is one of major universities in Iran.
The initial nucleus of Shiraz University was formed in 1946 with the establishment of a junior college which aimed at training specialists in the medical sciences with a four year program.

Yet in shorts and sandals on a recent spring afternoon, Minwalla communicated at least the basics to an astronomy and modern physics class at Lawrence High School.
Before they met Minwalla, many of the Lawrence students worried the material might be over their heads, said Ruben Melendez, 18.
Minwalla hopes the light bulb will turn on in at least a few minds as a result of his lectures.

 Luboš Motl's reference frame: Sidneyfest
Shiraz Minwalla asked whether Witten agreed that we had no known examples in which time, as opposed to space, seemed to be emergent.
I did not have a feeling that Edward Witten was answering exactly this question but he still managed to say something interesting.
Note that relativity implies that anything that holds for space should hold for time, too - and therefore our apparent inability to show that time is emergent may lead to us to an incorrect conclusion.

 Citebase - S-Duality and Noncommutative Gauge Theory
Authors: Gopakumar, Rajesh; Maldacena, Juan; Minwalla, Shiraz; Strominger, Andrew
It is conjectured that strongly coupled, spatially noncommutative \CN=4 Yang-Mills theory has a dual description as a weakly coupled open string theory in a near critical electric field, and that this dual theory is fully decoupled from closed strings.

Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2000 21:46:53 GMT (313kb) Title: OM Theory in Diverse Dimensions Authors: Rajesh Gopakumar, Shiraz Minwalla, Nathan Seiberg and Andrew Strominger Comments: 18 pages, harvmac, devnag, 3 figs \\ Open string theories can be decoupled from closed strings and gravity by scaling to the critical electric field.
We propose dual descriptions for the strong coupling limit of these NCOS (Non-Commutative Open String) theories in six or fewer spacetime dimensions.
In two dimensions we conjecture that supersymmetric U($n$) gauge theory with a unit of electric flux is dual to the NCOS theory with string coupling $1 \over n$.
