Biography

Chodorow was born in Buffalo, New York. He received BS in Physics in 1934 from the University at Buffalo, and a PhD in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1939, under the supervision of John Clarke Slater.cite-ref-stanford-news-2-1[2]

He was a member of faculty of City College of New York and Pennsylvania State University before joining Stanford University in 1947.cite-ref-nyt-1-1[1]

He spent the rest of his career at Stanford, becoming a professor in physics and electrical engineering in 1954, and the executive head of the division of applied physics of Stanford University in 1962.cite-ref-nyt-1-2[1] Chodorow was the founding chairman of the department of applied physics of the Stanford University.cite-ref-nyt-1-3[1]
