Biography

I see myself as an interdisciplinary scientist and teacher. I lead IEEE Blockchain Regio 8 and IEEE Blockchain Group Romania. I am full professor at University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania, and I am working in Molecular Dynamics Group, University of Groningen as an associated senior researcher. Molecular Dynamics is an interdisciplinary domain at the intersection of physics, chemistry, computer science, biology, medicine, etc. I was working in close cooperation with Emeritus Professor Herman Berendsen (http://www.hjcb.nl/). Two developed algorithms are part of Gromacs (www.gromacs.org) package of molecular dynamics, being used by world-wide prestigious groups (Stanford Univ, Cambridge, etc.) and powerful companies (Intel, IBM, etc.). I worked also for ISO/IEEE medical device standards 11073 family of standards. On this line of research I got in 2011 IEEE Technology Merits Award, 2010, US Edition (http://www.rug.nl/news/2011/01/emergingtechnologyaward). I teach in Romania, Africa, US (online), Inter-American countries (online) different courses such as: networking, distributed systems, software engineering, statistics, methods of research, data bases, etc. I obtained several international and national research grants
