What I'm looking for

I’m looking for new challenges where I can combine electrochemistry, material science, and data analysis—contributing to water treatment technology improvement, optimization, and strong project execution through critical thinking and reliable time management.

I am a Chemical Engineer with a passion for technology, material science, electrochemistry, and data analysis. I bring experience in support, improvement, and optimization of new technologies in water treatment plants, and I enjoy tackling technical challenges with critical thinking and strong work ethic.

Since Sep 2024, I have worked as an Associate Professor of Chemistry (contract) in Timişoara, preparing and delivering engaging lessons in chemistry and biology. I design lab experiments aligned with the curriculum, differentiate instruction for diverse learning needs, and evaluate progress through quizzes, tests, lab reports, and projects.

From Sep 2018 to Sep 2020, I was a Scientific Researcher at National Institute of Research and Development for Electrochemistry and Condensed Matter (INCEMC). I researched electrochemistry and nano-science, wrote scientific papers, and participated in international conferences and symposiums, with strengths in impedance spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and documentation/reporting.

Earlier, I served as a Chemical Process Engineer at SC DATCOMP SRL (Sep 2012–Sep 2018), providing project engineering and technical expertise for water treatment facilities, including hydraulic calculations and process design. My research background includes a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and postdoctoral work in nanotechnology, focused on advanced materials and electrochemical sensors, including carbon nanotube-based systems and nanostructured electrodes.
