0

The staff of the Academy of Romanian Scientists announces with sadness the passing away of Mr. Prof. Dr. Mircea Octavian Popoviciu!

Mircea Octavian POPOVICIU graduated from the Polytechnic Institute of Timisoara, Faculty of Mechanics. In 1971, he obtained his doctorate in engineering with a thesis on the evolution of cavitation bubbles produced by electric sparks at the Polytechnic Institute of Timișoara. A teacher since graduation, Mircea Popoviciu climbed the teaching ladder from university assistant to professor and head of department, being the holder of 9 subjects. In these capacities he has initiated and organized 20 scientific conferences with national and international participation. He has also developed four courses and two tutorials. He was director of 3 national research projects.

His scientific activity was mainly carried out in the “Aurel Barglazan” Hydraulic Machinery Laboratory of the Polytechnic University of Timisoara and included various research fields, such as: cavitations, cavitational erosion, hydrodynamics of turbomachines, hydraulic drives and controls, wind turbines. Many of the researches have been solved in the 20 national R&D grants (MEC); 47 scientific contracts solved at the request of productive units, as well as in a BRANCUSI Grant programme, 2003. In close connection with his scientific concerns, Professor Popoviciu carried out a prestigious technical activity, elaborating a series of projects, approvals, reliability and maintenance studies, mainly in the field of hydraulic turbines, all applied in practice. He actively participated in scientific conferences, symposia and congresses organized by the Academy of Romanian Scientists.

The experience gained in technical-scientific activity has resulted in the publication of 148 scientific papers. Of these, 79 were published in peer-reviewed journals (5 ISI-listed, 13 abroad, 51 in CNCSIS-recognised journals in the country and 10 in other technical journals) and 69 in scientific conference volumes (4 ISI-listed, 17 abroad and 48 in the country). He is co-author of two books published by publishers in Moldova and Serbia. Mircea Popoviciu was a full member of the Academy of Romanian Scientists, scientific secretary of the AOSR Branch – Timisoara; member of the Association for Multidisciplinary Research in the Western Area of Romania. He was awarded the First Prize of the Ministry of Education and Culture in 1958. His contribution to the development of science and technology was mainly reflected in the solution of problems raised by the manufacture and operation of hydraulic machines, the elucidation of phenomena in the field of cavitation and the solution of problems related to experimental research.

God rest his soul!

The “Information Science and Technology” Section – Academy of Romanian Scientists and the “eBio-hub” Research Centre of the National University of Science and Technology of Bucharest invites you on
31 October 2023, 16.30, at the webinar
“From simple interactive systems to complex artificial intelligence machines: about the importance of understanding user needs, perceptions and context of use when designing for human experiences – a story of the Romanian researcher working in Singapore” – Dr. Andreea I. Niculescu (I2R-ASTAR, Singapore).

To participate, click HERE for the webinar link.

In our technology-driven world, we often feel frustrated when our technology experiences fall short of expectations. The culprit? Often a design flaw. This underscores the critical importance of understanding users’ needs, their unique perceptions, and most importantly, the context of use when it comes to software design. These elements collectively ensure that technology fulfils its primary purpose: improving human experiences. In my next talk, I will explore these key topics, presenting some research projects related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in which I have had the privilege of being involved, but also sharing the knowledge I have gained along the way, drawn from my experiences as a researcher working at the intersection of different cultures and perspectives. I look forward to exploring the fascinating journey of developing smart cars for everyday use, all rooted in a deep understanding of users and their evolving contexts.

Andreea I. Niculescu works as a researcher in the Human Language Technology Department (Dialogue Technology Group) -A*STAR-Institute for Infocomm Research Singapore. Her main interests are in AI, UX and interaction design, focusing on developing user interfaces for speech, language and multimodal interactions. She studied Computer Science and Linguistics in Germany at Ruhr-University Bochum and did her PhD in the Netherlands at the University of Twente. Her thesis was on Conversational Interfaces for Task-Oriented Dialogues with Computer Systems. Andreea is a passionate advocate for social empowerment, sustainability and education through technology adoption.

The International Conference on Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine BioReMed 2023, organized by the Romanian Society of Biomaterials, represented by Prof. Dr. Iulian Antoniac, in partnership with “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, the Neurosurgery Association of Sibiu, represented by Conf. Vicențiu Secelean and supported by the Academy of Romanian Scientists.

Program-total-Final-Print-Biomateriale-iulie-2023

The conference, now in its first year, aimed to bring together a prestigious international academic community to debate the intersection between biomaterials engineering and the various medical specialties over three days.

The event was hosted by the Faculty of Medicine of ULBS, and the conference was chaired by nearly 30 doctors and engineers, representing the academic communities of Sibiu, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Iasi, Oradea, Targu-Mures, Galati and Craiova.

Structured in two sessions, which included scientific communications on the clinical applications of biomaterials in the performance of different medical fields, such as dental medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, neurosurgery or cardiovascular surgery, the BioReMed 2023 Conference organised in Sibiu benefited from the support of a scientific committee made up of 50 personalities from the academic world from Romania, Italy, USA, Switzerland, Spain, Turkey and Tunisia, who provided scientific support for the topics presented. Predictive computational modeling for intramyocardial hemorrhage in myocardial infarction, Brain IT – from biomaterials to brain repair and regeneration, New trends in adhesives used in dentistry were just some of the themes of the conference, complemented by a workshop that showed the role of science education, at the border between medicine and engineering.

The large participation of doctors from major universities in Romania and abroad visibly confirmed the commitment to excellence of the Faculty of Medicine of the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, a commitment reinforced by the recent collaboration agreement signed with the “Iuliu Hațieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj. I would like to thank my colleagues, professors, lecturers, lecturers or assistants of the Faculty of Medicine, who contribute to the permanent development of scientific education and who, through this international and interdisciplinary openness, set high standards in medical research. I am confident that in the long term all these efforts will have direct positive effects in improving the quality of life in our community.“, said on this occasion Conf. Radu Sorin Fleacă, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of ULBS.

The event was also made possible thanks to the involvement of sponsors Medical Ortovit, Med Health Care Project, Gema Equipments, Epsylon Group, Sante International, HS Medical, Smart Health Group, Sun Wave Pharma, RMN Diagnostica Sibiu, Rafi Medical, Policontact, Medtronic.
