Oleg Lupan received his Ph.D. from the Institute of Applied Physics, Academy of Sciences of Moldova (ASM) in 2005. Afterwards, he conducted his postdoctoral and habilitation research, where he pioneered the development of oxidic and hybrid nanosensors at the UCF, USA. He then held post-doctoral research positions at the CNRS, Paris, France and at the University of Central Florida, USA. Professor Lupan received his Habilitation from the Institute of Electronic Engineering and Nanotechnologies, ASM in 2011 and then became a Professor in Solid State Electronics and Nanoelectronics at the Technical University of Moldova (TUM). He pioneered the development of single nanowire semiconducting oxide-based nanosensors and nanowire-based LEDs. Prof. Dr.-Tech. Habil. Lupan makes frequent visits to the research group “Functional Nanomaterials” led by Prof Adelung at Kiel University, Germany. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, patents, and book chapters (h index 62, over 12000 citations, Web of Sciences).  His current research interests include nanosensors, optoelectronic devices, nanotechnologies, and nanodevices. https://utm.md/ https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=10640885800
