Researcher
I am a Materials Science researcher from Romania, working at SC MGM Star Construct SRL in Bucharest, Romania. I have a strong background in research and metallurgy, with expertise in thin films deposition, vacuum techniques, optical coatings quality assurance, and mechanical design using software like Solidworks, AutoCAD, and Catia. At SC MGM Star Construct SRL, I supervised and participated in some specialized scientific projects in the field of metal coating in all its types. I have a PhD in Material science from University "Politehnica" of Bucharest, Romania, and a MSc and BSc in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from Damascus, Syria.

Abstract:
Volatolomics has emerged as a new frontier in deciphering unreached matters related with health conditions. Volatolomics research is
based on the study of the volatile compounds emitted by biological samples. It was demonstrated that the volatiles emitted though breath,
skin, feces, urine or cells can provide useful information for the diagnosis of an important number of diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, or
even neurodegenerative disorders. We have very recently demonstrated that the embryos do also emit volatiles during their development,
while genetical disorders alter the pattern of the released volatiles. In the present project, we aim at assessing volatolomic techniques for
the non-invasive assessment of embryos quality in order to select the most viable ones for transfer. The ultimate goal of this project is
to achieve higher success rates in the in vitro fertilisation.

Abstract:
This project aims at investigating the potential of analysing the volatile organic compounds emitted by extracellular vesicles as an innovative
approach for disease diagnostic. Extracellular vesicles will be isolated from different biological samples, such as cancer cells, serum, urine and
faeces. The volatile organic compounds emitted by the extracellular vesicles will be analysed employing several techniques, which will include gas
chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopy and electronic nose systems. The results obtained in this project will
ultimately allow assessing if the volatile organic compounds emitted by extracellular vesicles can provide additional information for disease
diagnosis complementing the analysis of the biological samples from which they are extracted.

Abstract:
TOPCOAT project aims in developing an integrated tooling system that shall enable co-curing of composites without autoclave and without oven for structural parts for UAVs, small aircraft prototypes and automotive. This innovative manufacturing approach directly addresses the challenges of Out-of-Autoclave technologies of composite manufacturing through product performance improvements. The new outcomes will increase production of advanced composites through Out-Of-Autoclave technology in shorter time, with less costs, generating an energy saving for the global process of manufacturing. These innovative technologies can be possible by combining a multiple expertise, that will be taken into account, from design and FEM modeling tools, to 3D printing technology, special coatings and by developing specific know-How. The new concept of molds with integrated heating system could be future implemented for resin infusion, VARTM, low temperature prepregs and hand layup technics of traditional composite processing.

Abstract:
The main objective of the TriboHEA project is to develop novel HEA (High Entropy Alloy) coating technology for applications requiring medium-to-high friction and
wear resistant surfaces. Coatings with such tribological characteristics are especially desirable by machine and automotive industry for improving the performances
and the life time of friction components, such as clutch plates.
The projects will focus on the technology development for synthesis of mm-thick HEA coatings to engineer the friction surfaces of clutch plates, subject on which
the end-user partner is very interested. The project is planning to advance the coating technology from TRL3 to TRL6 by demonstrating the coating performances
in the end-user's clutch test rig. To realize that, the TriboHEA Consortium combines one research institution from Romania, one SME from Romania,
and the end-user industrial partner from the Basque Country (Spain).
