SHORT biography
Born on 20th of April 1991 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. After graduating the Technical High School "Edmond Nicolau", in 2010, he followed the courses of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, specialization of Electromechanical Engineering, of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania and he graduated in 2014. In same year he is enrolled in a Master of Science program at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca studying the field of Advanced Electrical Systems and he finish 2 years later, in 2016. Currently he is in the first year of PhD at the Department of Electrical Machines and Drives, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. At the TU, from October 2014 he is part of the research team. During this period he took part to several activities like workshops, trainings and work placement.

OTHER INFORMATION
Research mobilities
- Junior Research Engineer at TU of Cluj-Napoca (Oct 2014 – Present Employment) (Cluj, Romania) During this period he developed an electromagnetic design, analysis platform for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The design of the electric motor was carried out analytically in Matlab and validated numerically using JMAG software based on finite element method. In the present I'm focused on the implementation of control algorithms for PMSM in MATLAB Simulink on dSPACE Rapid Control Prototyping platform.
- Internship at MACCON GmbH (Munich Area, Germany) (Jul 2013 – Sep 2013) I have simulated an electric linear actuator using a cascaded three level PI controller in Matlab Simulink. The actuator is a substitute for the mechanically actuated intake/exhaust valves. theme: The theoretical study of a linear electromagnetic actuator for internal combustion motor testing
- Research Intern at ICPE (Bucharest, Romania) (Aug 2015) At ICPE Bucharest I attained knowledge in the field of electric motor production by getting acquainted with the production process together with it's constrains and limitations.
- Research Intern at Brose Group (Würzburg, Germany) (Jul 2016 – Aug 2016) The study and simulation (MATLAB Simulink based) of Maximum Torque Per Ampere control algorithm (speed, torque and flux weakening) for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor PMSM.
