SHORT biography

Born on 22th of July 1993 in Campulung Moldovenesc. She graduated from “Dragos Voda” National College in her home town with a High School Diploma in Mathematics

and Computer Science and followed-up with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineer at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. She’s thesis topic was "Modulation

techniques for variable speed drives". For the master thesis she implemented a “Real-Time Simulation of a Complete Electric Vehicle Based on NI VeriStand Integration

Platform. Currently she is a PhD student at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and concurrently occupies a research assistant position in the Powerful Advanced N-Level

Digitalization Architecture for models of electrified vehicles and their components (PANDA) project.
