Lucia Monica Veca ([email protected])

She holds a B.S. degree in chemistry from Babes-Bolyai University (1999), a M.S. degree in materials science and engineering from University of Pitesti (2001), and a PhD degree in chemistry from Clemson University (2009). She joined the National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies IMT-Bucharest in 2010, working as Research Scientist in the Laboratory for Molecular Nanotechnology.

From 2005 to 2009, while pursuing her PhD, she has developed carbon nano-materials with improved electrical, thermal and optical properties, under the mentorship of Prof. Ya-Ping Sun. For her doctoral research accomplishments she has been awarded the 2009 Outstanding Graduate Researcher and 2008 Graduate Research Incentive Program Award, by the department of Chemistry at Clemson University. She has authored and coauthored 17 peer-reviewed articles, 1 review article and 4 chapters in books on nanomaterials. Her research interest focuses on the synthesis, electronic and optical properties of carbon based nano-scale functional materials with applications in optoelectronics and biology or medicine. Her other scientific interests revolves around the molecular assembly of nanomaterials and organic molecules.

Cristina Pachiu ([email protected])

She is senior researcher at IMT-Bucuresti since 2004 and she was awarded the physics-engineering degree of the University of Bucharest (Romania- Faculty of Physics) in 2001 and the Ph.D. degree in Physics – acoustics field in 2007 at the University of Le Havre –France (Laboratoire Ondes et Milieux Complexes FRE CNRS 3102, 76610 Le Havre, France).

Her main research interest it has been the interaction of ultrasonic guided waves with structural discontinuities or defects (welded joint, bonding, surface roughness), the modeling of acoustic structures, using the finite element method, new devices for high-frequency applications and smart materials piezoelectric.
She held a postdoctoral position with the main focus being the propagation of ultrasonic wave in periodically structured materials (phononic crystals – P.C.): study of the propagation properties of ultrasonic waves for the characterization of the physical parameters of PC, detection and fault location for the nondestructive evaluation of phononic structures; modeling and identification of interactions sensors - wave – phononic materials; multidimensional treatment (time - frequency - wave vector - position) for these materials.
She coordinated three national projects (Nucleu and Infratech Programme):“Packaging technology for pressure sensors in home applications - Technology Transfer” Infratech (2006-2007); ”System in Package for gas sensors with the applications in CH4 and CO2 monitoring processes - Technology Transfer” (2007-2008); “Developmentmicro and nanostructures for DNA detection: design, modeling/simulation andmicro fabrication” (2006-2008).
