Department of Pedotechnics, University of Life Sciences in Iasi, Romania. I graduated with a doctorate from the Technical University of Iași in 1998. My major areas of research interest include excess water removal, irrigation, soil erosion control, climate change, and sustainable land management. In recent years, I have been responsible for numerous national and international research projects, including erosion and soil conservation measures, the effect of the application of sewage sludge on soil quality indices vulnerable to degradation, sustainable development of soil resources in areas with works drainage, and the impact of hydro-climatic and pedo-geomorphological risks on the environment in small river basins. I have published over one hundred and fifty papers in peer-reviewed journals, five book chapters, and nine books, in addition to over thirty peer-reviewed papers and reports. I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment (ALSE) https://jurnalalse.com.
