In 1998 he finished his Ph'D degree in Mathematics at the Babes-Bolyai University with his thesis "Regularization Methods in the Numerical Analysis of Some Degenerate Parabolic Equations". From 2000 to 2015 he worked in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands), before he moved to the University of Hasselt (Belgium), where he is a professor in the Discipline group Mathematics and statistics.
About the SFB 1313 Mercator Fellowship
Mercator Fellowships enable an intensive, long-term project-based collaboration between researchers from both domestic and foreign institutions. Although Mercator Fellows are on-site for only part of the project, they are associated to the project and remain in contact with the project team members once their research stay is over. With this collaboration, additional competence is to be gained for the project or the network and for increasing the project's visibility. The engagement of Mercator Fellows is more intensive than that of scientific guests.
