Membru de Onoare
Dr. Ruxandra Vidu is a published research scientist and university Adjunct Professor with 30 years experience in advanced materials and processing. Her research emphasizes the use of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the development and integration of advanced materials with unique properties into device fabrication. She has published over 80 papers and co-authored four books. Dr. Vidu founded in 2004 a small business to commercialize the nanocables technology that was developed with Prof. Stroeve’s group at UC Davis. She is the co-author of over 15 patents licensed, pending, or in process regarding various technologies including the Solar Brush™ technology, IR filters based on magnetically responsive photonic crystals, and a solenoid module to remove heavy metal from wastewaters. The first product, the Bloo’s Solar Brush™ product, is presently in an advanced development stage, and raised over $40 million from investors.
George THEODORE
Honorary Member, GERMANY
Born on September 8, 1932, in Craiova, he completed his studies at the Carol I National College and obtained his baccalaureate at the Gheorghe Lazăr High School in Bucharest in 1951. After graduating from the Construction Institute, as an engineer, he established himself in the specialty of bridges and tunnels. In 1983, in Aachen (Germany), he obtained the title of doctor of engineering, by defending the thesis Hydrothermally treated concrete and its non-destructive test. In the country, he was site manager for the construction of the bridge over Argeş at Căteasca (total length 250 m) and implemented his innovative ideas at the Hotare bridge, also over Argeş (150 m). The accumulated experience allowed him to enrich his scientific and technical achievements in the design and construction of prestressed concrete bridges in Germany. At the same time, he carried out a fruitful teaching activity at the Institute of Constructions in Bucharest, continued activity in Germany, at the Institute of Tropical Technology. He was consulted for the realization of numerous works and, through the prestige he gained, he was elected the president of the Engineering Society Cologne. He also participated in numerous international congresses in his specialized field, being the author of over 120 reports/expertises, as well as high-value studies.
