Education:

BSc.: Babeș-Bolyai University, Physics , 2008

MSc.: Babeș-Bolyai University, Environmental Radioactivity, 2009

PhD: Babeș-Bolyai University, Environmental Sciences, 2012

Research:

My main research is based on high precision isotopic analysis and uranium series dating with implications in development of new measurement techniques, geochronology, paleoclimatology, mammal evolution, nuclear forensics, etc.; environmental radioactivity being my secondary area of research.
