Biography

I am a Lecturer at the Faculty of Medical Engineering, National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Romania, where I currently serve as Director of the Department of Bioengineering and Biotechnology. I have been involved in higher education since 2011, combining teaching, scientific research, and academic responsibilities in biomaterials, materials science, and biomedical engineering. I obtained my PhD in Engineering in 2019. My research focuses on the synthesis, processing, and characterization of ceramic biomaterials for biomedical applications, particularly bone tissue regeneration. My main areas of expertise include calcium phosphate-based bioceramics, hydroxyapatite, biphasic calcium phosphates, alumina, zirconia, and ceramic composites. I am particularly interested in developing porous ceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and investigating ion-substituted calcium phosphates and hydroxyapatite-based nanocomposites. My work explores the relationships between material composition, processing, microstructure, porosity, mechanical properties, and biological response. Alongside my research activities, I am actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, research collaborations, and academic development.
