Solange-Odile SALIU, at present Professor at the Physics Department, University of Craiova, Romania. Graduated from the Faculty of Sciences from the University of Craiova (Theoretical Physics specialization) in 1992 and pursued doctoral studies in Physics (specialization in Theoretical Physics) at the same institution. Earned a Ph.D. in Physics in 1996, the title of her Ph.D. thesis being “Quantization of Gauge Theories”. Since 1992 she has built an academic career at the University of Craiova. Became a full professor in 2004 and a Ph.D. supervisor in 2007. Research directions: Quantum Field Theory, Quantization of Constrained Dynamical Systems, Applications of the Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin/BRST Method. Approached topics and results: analysis of degenerate second-class systems (BRST quantization in the original and extended phase-spaces, approach to first-order systems); study of gauge theories (irreducible BRST and BRST-anti-BRST quantization of reducible gauge theories, construction of the Sp(3) antibracket-antifield BRST symmetry); exploration of free, non-massive tensor fields with mixed symmetries; a systematic approach to the construction of consistent interactions in gauge field theories by means of the deformation of the canonical BRST generators at both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian levels with an emphasis on topological BF models. Member of the Romanian Physical Society; received the “Dragomir Hurmuzescu” prize of the Romanian Academy, 2008.
