Biography

I graduated as mechanical engineer and further dedicated my activity to clean combustion etchnologies, starting with the PhD research, accomplished on a field concerning Ultrasound influence on Lignite combustion. By 1990 I became as Humboldt fellow in contact with the several German and European universities/research groups/ and had the privilege to learn about flue gas cleaning technologies. I habilitated with a study/book concerning the pollution generated by Romanian power plants. In Romania I realized a special lab for air quality monitoring. Also I am coordinating the research Center of my department, and recently we started to develop renewable energy sources research, especially in the field og biomass co-combustion and biogas generation, CO2 capturing included. I have 8 Patents recognized in Romania. I have more than 100 ISI papers published. Since I was nominated as PhD coordinator, I succeeded to support 26 PhD students to finalize with success their study. I also coordinated several national and E projects, especially aiming bio-energy applications, environmental protection (air quality, reduction of green house gases, waste utilisation), and clean energy sources (including coal as transition fuel, but associated with CO2 capture).
