  • 2007 - current: Medical University in Bucharest (UMFCD), Biophysics Department.;
  • 2004-2006 full-time; 2007 - 2008: collaboration; Researcher in Max Planck Institute in Brain Research - Psychophysics Laboratory (Frankfurt am Main, Germany); The focus of my work here was the analysis and simulation of complex visual distortions in amblyopic patients; PhD thesis on the subject;
  • 2004 Master of Science in Medical Engineering, "Politehnica University" in Bucharest, Romania; Thesis on emergent phenomena in cellular automata;
  • 2002 Medical University in Bucharest (UMF), Romania, with a Diploma Thesis in Medical Biophysics.

Skills currently related to my work:

- visual stimuli generation [using ImageMagick, OpenSesame/PsychoPy, JAI, and related programming tools];
- experimental data analysis and statistical modeling [using R];
- Scientific visualizations: proficient with 3DStudioMax for photometric lighting, photo-realistic rendering (MentalRay); physics and fully-scripted animation.
  • Biophysics of cell membranes (Lipid bilayers) investigation methods:
    • experimental electrical methods: BLM (Black Lipid Membranes) and SSM (Solid Supported Membranes)
    • spectrofluorimetric methods (investigations of membranes; liposomes) - experimental methods and data analysis (OriginLab);
  • Scientific content editing tools (LaTeX, RMarkdown, bibtools, GNU Image Manipulation Program, Inkscape, ImageMagick on Linux);
  • Project management;
  • Public speaking (academic lectures for medical students and general public conferences for understanding of medical research).
