Mircea Eliade (Romanian:[ˈmirtʃe̯aeliˈade]; March 13 [O.S. February 28] 1907 – April 22, 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. One of the most influential scholars of religion of the 20th century and interpreter of religious experience, he established paradigms in religious studies that persist to this day. His theory that hierophanies form the basis of religion, splitting the human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential. One of his most instrumental contributions to religious studies was his theory of eternal return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply commemorate hierophanies, but (at least in the minds of the religious) actually participate in them.
Eliade's literary works belong to the fantastic and autobiographical genres. The best known are the novels Maitreyi ('La Nuit Bengali' or 'Bengal Nights', 1933), Noaptea de Sânziene ('The Forbidden Forest', 1955), Isabel și apele diavolului ('Isabel and the Devil's Waters'

Luc Sala June 2016 Beyond the academic contributions and publications that made his reputation the personal story of the Rumenian scholar Mircea Eliade, as revealed in the more recent (published or translated) biographical and autobiographical material has spawned a renewed interests in him. Does the appreciation of his work change if we look at his life from a different, more psychological perspective and try to discern and take into account the emotional drives and personality issues. What is there to learn from his history, what bearing had his emotional development, his struggle with life's challlenges and inner tendencies, on his views? Can we relate his psychological issues to his work and attitudes, understand his dilemmas and choices better if we see him as confined by the temporality and historicity, the conditioning he himself saw as a core subject of Western and Eastern thought. This means going some steps beyond what Florin Turcanu in " Mircea Eliade. the prisoner of history " (2003) did and is more concerned with the defining experiences in his life than how this played out in his prewar Rumenian time. Trying to understand or even identify the influence of the psychological development of an author of course is not what Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault suggested, looking at the role and relevance of authorship to the meaning or interpretation of a text like in " the death of the author " (R.B). But can we separate, In the case of Eliade, the man and his work? His experiences and political stance in his youth have been such a shadow, over his reputation and in his personal life, that it makes sense to see where his work and life, in a dynamic and not static perspective (as evolving over time) mirror each other and especially how we can extract Mircea Fotino, a retired professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB), passed away on January 23, 2023, dying peacefully at home in the company of his family. Mircea was born in Bucharest, Romania, in 1927, son of Scarlat Fotino and Marcella Teodorescu. He came to the USA for the latter part of his education, earning a Ph.D. in Physics at the University of California, Berkeley in 1958. He did postdoctoral work as Chargé de Research at the Centre National de la Research Science in Paris, France from 1959 – 1960, then came to Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, where he worked as a Research Fellow in Physics at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator from 1961 – 1968. Mircea married Ingrid Alina Popa in 1969, and they raised two daughters: Alina Domnica and Adriana Georgia. Keith Porter, Chair of Biology at Harvard, convinced Mircea to accompany him to Boulder and help set up a facility for the study of biological samples by high voltage electron microscopy (HVEM), which Porter wanted to establish in the new biology department that was forming at CU Boulder. Mircea was a research fellow from 1968 – 1970, during which he explored the availability and use of such microscopes. In 1971, he was appointed Assistant Professor of MCDB and thereafter devoted his time to testing commercially available HVEMs. He traveled to England, France, Germany, Korea, and Japan where such microscopes were either available or under consideration. From these experiences, he learned the strengths and weaknesses of each microscope design. He also learned the many complexities of installing and running such a microscope. These were significant issues, because the electron accelerators that could bring a conventional electron beam (100 KV) up to the million volts needed for high voltage work required considerable space and mass, as well as high vacuums and large, effective insu Professor Grigoriu has received a doctoral degree in civil engineering from MIT followed by degree in civil engineering and mathematics from the Institute of Civil Engineering and the University of Bucharest, Romania. His research interests are in random vibration, stochastic calculus, numerical methods for solving stochastic problems, probabilistic models for microstructures, wind/earthquake engineering, climate models, and Monte Carlo simulation. He is the author of over 200 papers in referred journals, a co-author of a book on random vibration, and the author of three books on non-Gaussian processes, Stochastic Calculus, and Stochastic Systems. Grigoriu's research focuses on random vibration, stochastic calculus, stochastic differential equations, stochastic partial differential equations, numerical methods for solving stochastic problems, probabilistic models for microstructures, wind/earthquake engineering, and Monte Carlo simulation. Focus on engineering applications starting from fundamental concepts of mechanics, probability theory, statistics, and mathematics.
