Short Bio

Being originally from Republic of Moldova, I came in Romania in 2005 in order do be a high school student and I graduated in 2009 from the „AL.I.Cuza” theoretical high-school in Iasi. In 2009 I started the Undergraduate studies at the at the Faculty of Physics, „AL.I.Cuza” University of Iasi at the Medical Physics programme. In 2012 I graduated and was enrolled in the Master studies, the same University, at the Biophysics and Medical Physics programme. I graduated in the summer of 2014. During the Bachelor’s studies I had the opportunity to go to a 3 months research stage with Erasmus program at the University of Angers, France where I conducted a project in the field of thin solid films. During the most part of the Master studies I worked as a research assistant in a national project where my main activity was the AFM single-molecule experiments. Also, in the first year of my MSc I went to Brno, Czech Republic, to participate at a summer school, called “SPM Microscopy”. I have presented the results of my research with 7 communications at national and international conferences (from these I had 1 oral presentation), from which two posters were awarded with the best poster prizes.
