Following a BSc. from UAIC-Iasi, Romania (web) he performes a PhD. on molecular quantum magnets (experiment, web). Then he carries out a 3-year postdoctoral research program at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands (web) with results in the superconducting quantum computing area. A brief postdoc at Michigan State University (web) follows, where he works on a high-frequency setup to study spin torque devices. Since 2005, he is at FSU - Dept of Physics and affiliated to the NHMFL. The research activities are done both in the FSU campus (nanofabrication facilities, web) and NHMFL (lab location, web).

Teaching: Intermediate and Advanced Lab (3802, 4822), Optics (3424), Physics w/ or w/o Calculus (2049, 2052, 2053), Techniques in Experimental Physics (grad 5846C)
Outreach: SuperNet, Saturday Morning Physics (web)
