Head of Center for Surface Science and Nanotechnology, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Splaiul Independentei 313, Bucharest 060042, Romania, marius.enachescu@cssnt-upb.ro,
Professor Dr.rer.nat. Marius Enăchescu with international recognition, is among the world pioneers in designing and building STM-AFM systems as basic instruments for investigations at atomic and nano-scale, receiving his PhD from Technical University of Munich, Germany. After a long period of research in world leading laboratories in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnologies (1997-2009 at Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory and Silicon Valley, USA) he is recently reintegrated in the country of origin, Romania, bringing with him an invaluable expertise in exploiting quantum effects and nanoscale phenomena in order to design and develop new fundamental concepts and building innovative devices for various applications, including nanoelectronics field. Professor Enachescu is the author/co-author of 12 international patents; 24 awards; 9 books/chapters, all in international publishing houses; over 100 articles published in ISI journals; over 20 lectures to international conferences and universities; author or co-author of approximately 250 other invited and contributed presentations at various international conferences/congresses and he lead over 36 international projects in USA and Europe. He is currently the Head of Center for Surface Science and NanoTechnology at Politehnica University of Bucharest. His main areas of interest include carbon nano-materials (nano-tubes, nano-onions, graphene), semiconductor nano-materials (Si, SiC, GaN, InP, GaAs, etc.), nano-devices design and implementation, e.g., nano-FETs, micro- and nano-electronics, optical fiber based sensors and transducers for various applications.
