    Founding full member of AOSR and Full Member of the Romanian Academy. A leading scientist in physics, academician SANDULESCU focused on theoretical nuclear physics, performing (alone or in collaboration) over 300 scientific papers, which can be grouped into: 1. Microscopic theory of alpha decay , 2. Prediction of new radioactivity, 3. Experimental discovery of radioactivity with neon emissions, 4. Experimental discovery of radioactivity with emissions of Ba, Ce, Zr, Mo etc., by the triple coincidence with g-rays in spontaneous fission without neutron emission 252 Cf, 5. Experimental discovery of cold alpha thermal fission of 252 Cf. Various papers containing scientific results on research directions in theoretical physics: Dynamization of the static model of the atomic nucleus ; The influence of uniparticle effects on nuclear reactions ; Generalization of the Nilson model for non-axial states , Cluster transfer reactions in heavy ion collisions, etc. The prediction of a new type of radioactivity (the emission of heavy clusters) is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica, the phenomenon being assigned a PACS index.
    President of the Romanian Physics Society (1992), Vice-President of the Romanian Academy (1994-1998), President of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Atomic Physics (1993-1998).
