Physics degree from the Ecole Polytechnique of Lausanne in 1961, an Master of Surgery in Mathematics from New York University in 1964, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics from New York University in 1966.
He is known for his contributions to computational fluid mechanics, turbulence, and computational statistical mechanics. Chorin received the Ing. Diploma 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.
Chorin is widely recognized for his mentoring of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, many of whom have become nationally and internationally recognized scientists in their own right. In 2008 he was honored with the Sarlo mentoring award by the University of California Berkeley.
