GRANTS – won through international competitions:
2008 16 July – TRAVEL GRANT WON THROUGH AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION from the American Physical Society (APS) for the 16 October – 16 November 2008 period, financial supported by a NATO grant and by the Romanian project PN 06 35 01 02 (IFIN-HH).
There are only two such competitions each year, at APS on INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL GRANT AWARD, and only two projects win the competition each time.
Goal: radiation fields calculations for an underground lab for Nuclear Astrophysics for the DUSEL project.
Contact person: dr. Michael Famiano from the Western Michigan University, Physics College.
Western Michigan University is on 181 position in the national hierarchy of the USA universities.
Other INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS/PROJECTS:
1998 – 3 months fellow at RIKEN, Japan, won in international competition, at Ministry of Education, Culture, Sport, Science and Technology from Japan.
I worked in the group lead by Prof. Isao Tanihata.
Main themes:
· ‘The half-life determination of 44Ti using radioactive beam technique’
· ‘Sharp cut-off approximation for neutron pre-emission for 11Be fusion with 12C’.
2000 –2002 2 ½ years on postdoctoral fellowship won through international competition at Department for Particle Physics, PELLETRON, Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS), Israel, “The Edmond I. & Lillian S. Kaufman Postdoctoral Fellowship”.
I had been working with Prof. Michael Hass (WIS) and Prof. Michael Paul (from Hebrew University, Racah Institute of Physics, Jerusalem).
Main themes:
· 7Be(p, g)8B
· 3He(4He, g)7Be
· 40Ca(a, g)44Ti
· 7Be detection through the AMS method (accelerator mass spectrometry)
· 244Pu from sea sediments
· Accelerator technics.
Weizmann Institute of Science, as the Academic Ranking of World Universities – 2011, is on the 93rd position in the world and the 3rd position in Israel.
Hebrew University, Racah Institute of Physics, Jerusalem, as the Academic Ranking of World Universities – 2011, is on the 53rd position in the world and the 1st in Israel.
2003-2005 2 ½ years on a Research Associate position, won through an international competition, at the Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics, University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
I had been working with Prof. Kurt Snover and Prof. Derek Storm, the technical director of the lab at that time.
Main theme: fulfilling the experiment 3He(4He, g)7Be.
University of Washington, Seattle, as the Academic Ranking of World Universities – 2011, is on the 16th position in the world and on the 14th in the USA.
2010- EuroGENESIS (ESF) –Project Investigator for the IP6 (individual project) from CRP3, in a winning project at ESF (European Science Foundation); the Romanian PAC (Program Advisory Committee) didn’t accept the two proposed experiments to be fulfilled at the Romanian accelerator TANDEM, cancelling the fulfilling of the experiments from the ‘Program Nucleu’ too. Although in the negotiation stage at ESF, I had to withdraw the project from EuroGENESIS.
2010-2012- I had been working on a mobility project HUMAN-MB08 B, 2 years, as Research associate, Project Director and Principal Investigator, at ATOMKI, Debrecen, Hungary as a result of winning in an international competition at NKTH-OTKA-EU FP7 (Marie Curie Actions).
Main theme: High precision astrophysical factor measurement for the 3He+4He reaction which takes place in our Sun on a large energy scale.
I had been working in the Nuclear Astrophysics group, lead by dr. Zsolt Fulop, the general director of ATOMKI.
My expertise as electrotechnic engineer consists in using the microprocessors for the industrial processes control, in the electromagnetic fields computations inside the electric drives as well. As an engineer, I was a theme responsible or a software responsible, for many projects at ICPE or IFIN, 1st department for nuclear instrumentation.
My expertise as a physicist is in Nuclear Physics using particle accelerators, and in neutron, charged particle and gamma radiation detection. I participated with my own projects in national competition (no success) and in international competitions (with success).
While working, I got experience in detector characterization (for gamma radiation, neutrons and charged particles), in Monte Carlo simulations, in the experiment set-up design, in physical implementation for the experiment set-up, testing the experiment set-up, in DAQ (data acquisition) system design, in data analysis and results interpretation.
