Ebadollah S. Mahmoodian (born 18 May 1943 in Zanjan, Iran) is a retired professor of mathematics at the Mathematical Sciences Department of Sharif University of Technology.[1]

He received his Bachelor of Science in 1965 at University of Tehran and his master's degree in 1968 at Shiraz University. He got a Master's and a PhD degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1971 and 1975, respectively. His thesis advisor were Albert Nijenhuis and Herbert Wilf. He was a professor of mathematics at the Mathematical Sciences Department of Sharif University of Technology since 1983.[1][2] He co-edited Combinatorics Advances.[3]

Mahmoodian has contributions in graph theory, in particular graph colouring.[4] He has also worked on combinatorial designs, in particular, defining sets, and the relations between all those areas.[5] Mahmoodian is also known for mentoring and research collaborations with Maryam Mirzakhani during her studies at Sharif University.
