Gedeon Dagan (born December 24, 1932) is a professor Emeritus of Hydrology, School of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University, Israel. ==Biography== 〔 G. Dagan, "(Gedeon Dagan: A Brief Story of My Life... )", Ground Water, Vol. 47. No. 1, 2009, pp. 161-166. 〕 Gedeon Dagan was born in Galatz, Romania. His father, David Drimmer, was a Civil engineer who grew up in Chernowitz, studied in Vienna and moved to Romania after marrying Janette Shechter. Romania was allied to Germany during the Second World War and though Jews underwent persecution, they were not sent to extermination camps, unlike those living in countries under German occupation. After the war he was active in a Zionist youth movement, striving to emigrate to Israel, but the borders were closed by the communist regime. 〔 G. Dagan, "Gedeon Dagan: A Brief Story of My Life...", Ground Water, Vol. 47. No. 1, 2009, p. 161. 〕 With the desire to study in a field of relevance to Israel, he graduated in 1956 in Hydraulic Engineering at the Bucharest Institute of Civil Engineering. Being attracted by research, he also studied in parallel Applied Mathematics at Bucharest University. Subsequently, he worked as a research engineer at the national Hydraulic Laboratory in Bucharest and published a few articles in a local professional journal. In 1959 he was arrested and detained for eight months by the Securitate for alleged political Zionist activity. 〔 G. Dagan, "Gedeon Dagan: A Brief Story of My Life...", Ground Water, Vol. 47. No. 1, 2009, p. 162. 〕 In 1962 he was allowed to immigrate to Israel, where he changed his name from the previous one (Guido Drimmer) to Gedeon Dagan and married Ora (ne'e Sneh). He started to work as a Research Engineer at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, in a project of groundwater hydrology, which is the area of his research since. In 1965 he was granted a D. Sc. degree and joined the academic staff of the faculty of Civil Engineering, attaining the rank of Full Professor in 1974. His daughters Cigal and Noga were born in 1965, to be followed by Adi in 1971. 〔 G. Dagan, "Gedeon Dagan: A Brief Story of My Life...", Ground Water, Vol. 47. No. 1, 2009, p. 163. 〕 In 1976 he joined the academic staff of the newly founded Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University, where he taught various courses in Fluid Mechanics, Hydrology and Environment, becoming a Professor Emeritus in 2000. 〔 G. Dagan, "Gedeon Dagan: A Brief Story of My Life...", Ground Water, Vol. 47. No. 1, 2009, pp. 164. 〕 〔 (Gedeon Dagan site ) 〕 During the years 1994-2003 he was the incumbent of the Klachky Chair of Groundwater Hydrology. Gedeon Dagan spent his first Sabbatical leave (1967) at the research company Hydronautics in USA. He was a visiting Professor at University of Iowa (1974), at Delft University in Netherlands (1975), at Princeton University (1979), at the University of California, Santa Barbara (1986), at Berkeley (1991), at Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris (1991) and at Imperial College in London (1995). A few of the graduate students he advised became leading scientists, e.g. Prof. Yoram Rubin (Berkeley), Prof. Michael Stiassnie (Technion), Prof. Yhezkiel Mualem (Hebrew University). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gedeon Dagan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
