Research
Professor Simion Simon currently holds the position of head of Institute of Interdisciplinary Research on Bio-Nano-Sciences of the Babes-Bolyai University (Cluj-Napoca, Romania), institute that he organized to be setup in 2001. His research interest is of highly interdisciplinary approach, involving various designs and characterization of nanostructured materials, with multifunctional properties for applications in nanotechnology, biomedical and environmental sciences.
Professor Simon is member of international scientific societies like: Materials Research Society (USA), International ESR Society, European Physical Society, AMPERE Society, American Ceramic Society, Fellow of the Institute of Physics (London) and was granted with several awards such as: Dragomir Hurmuzescu award of Romanian Academy for 1982 and. National Order “For Merit” – Knight rank (2002) and he was president of Romanian Physics Society for local branch Cluj in the time period 1998– 2010.
