Reference excerpt

Mohamed T. El-Ashry was the first Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and subsequently a Senior Fellow with the UN Foundation.

Education Mohamed T. El-Ashry obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in 1959 from the University of Cairo, and a Master of Science in 1963 and Doctor of Philosophy in Geology, in 1966, from the University of Illinois.

Career El-Ashry was a lecturer and researcher at Cairo University, Pan-American-U.A.R. Oil Company, Wilkes University, and the Environmental Defense Fund. After that, he became a Senior Vice President of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and as the Director of Environmental Quality with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). He later joined World Bank where he held the position of Chief Environmental Advisor (1991–1993), Chief Environmental Advisor to the President (1993–1994), and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman (1994–2003). From World Bank, he joined Global Environment Facility (GEF) where he became the CEO and Chairman of the organisation for eleven years (1991-2002). El-Ashry research focused on water resource management, environmental resource management and development, and energy policies that promotes renewable energy.

Fellowship and membership El-Ashry was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of America, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences in 1990, and a Fellow of the African Academy of Sciences in 2001, and a Senior Fellow with the UN Foundation. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2012 advising on renewable energy, and a board member World Wide Fund for Nature, Resources for the Future, and Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mohamed T. El-Ashry

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mohamed T. El-Ashry claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mohamed T. El-Ashry before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mohamed T. El-Ashry ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mohamed T. El-Ashry

In research: Mohamed T. El-Ashry appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mohamed T. El-Ashry in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mohamed T. El-Ashry is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cairo University alumni, Egyptian academics, Egyptian scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mohamed T. El-Ashry outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
