Aaron Chorin
Aaron Chorin ( he, אהרן חארין; August 3, 1766August 24, 1844) was a Magyars, Hungarian rabbi and pioneer of early Reform Judaism, religious reform. He favored the use of the organ (music), organ and of prayers in the vernacular, and was instrumental in founding schools along modern lines. Endnote: See L. Löw, ''Gesammelte Schriften'', ii, 251. Chorin became a pivotal figure for reformers, although he himself still operated inside a traditional framework. He also interested himself in public affairs—he took an active part in the efforts for Jewish emancipation, and was very influential with the state authorities. Early years Chorin was born in Hranice (Přerov District), Moravia, Austria (now in the Czech Republic) in 1766.

Here he also learned German language, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alexandre Chorin
Alexandre Joel Chorin (born 25 June 1938) is an American mathematician known for his contributions to computational fluid mechanics, turbulence, and computational statistical mechanics. Chorin's work involves developing methods for solving physics and fluid mechanics problems computationally. His early work introduced several widely used numerical methods for solving the Navier-Stokes equations, including the method of artificial compressibility, the projection method, and vortex methods. He has made numerous contributions to turbulence theory. In recent years he has been developing methods for prediction in the face of uncertainty and for filtering and data assimilation. Career Chorin is a University Professor at the University of California, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley and a Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Chorin received the Ing. Dipl. Physics degree from the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ethan Chorin
Ethan Chorin is a Middle East and Africa-focused scholar and entrepreneur. He is known as a leading analyst of Libyan affairs, and for his applied development work in the Middle East and Africa in the area of environmental science and healthcare. Career Chorin began his career as a business developer with Shell Oil. In 2004 he joined the U.S. Foreign Service, and was one of a small number of U.S. diplomats posted to Libya (2004–2006) immediately following the U.S. rapprochement with Gaddafi c. 2004. He served in Libya as the economic and commercial attaché from 2004 to 2006, and was subsequently posted to Washington, D.C. and the United Arab Emirates. From 2008 to 2011 he was senior manager for communications, and then government relations, at Dubai Ports World (DP World), and was head of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program from 2009–2011.
