University Stages
2021 – 2024 Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest – PhD
(FANPEAA)
o
Implementing
Neural Network algorithms on space-ready hardware for inference acceleration.
2019 – 2021 Faculty of
Physics, University of Bucharest – MSc (FANPEAA)
o
The MSc
program I studied was completed by presenting the MSc Thesis called “Generation
of synthetic images for the analysis of the centroiding algorithms used in the
operational activities of the LISA Constellation Acquisition Sensor”. During the MSc programm I gained expertise in data
processing, in simulation of noise and in simulation of synthetic images based
on experimental parameters.
2016 – 2019 Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest –
BSc (Biophysics)
o
I
completed my BSc studies by presenting the paper “The influence of anode
modification with polypyrrole and carbon nanotubes on
the performance of microbial fuel cells”. During my BSc studies I earned
valuable experience in polymer physics but also, I became accustomed with
working in a laboratory.

o At first, gravitational
waves were a prediction of Einstein’s general relativity theory, but as of 2017
when the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) reported
the first detection of such waves they became reality. Because the
gravitational wave spectrum covers a large span of frequencies, the need for
complementary observations arose. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)
is the first space-based gravitational wave observatory that operates at
frequencies between 0.1 mHz and 1 Hz. As of 2017,
LISA was selected as the third large mission of the European Space Agency. This
paper addresses the need and the preliminary results of the simulation of
synthetic images. The purpose of these images is to evaluate different
centroiding algorithms that will be used by the Constellation Acquisition
Sensor (CAS) aboard the three spacecrafts in order for the three satellites of
the mission to get precisely aligned into the triangular formation which will
allow for the interferometric detection of gravitational waves.
