Managerial competence: During the last year, I was the project manager of the following research contracts:

1. “Ferromagnetic shielding for electromagnetic field”, GR 49/2008, CNCSIS code 52, work 25, (1330000RON);

2. “Controlled solidification structure by electromagnetic fields (SOLID)”, CEEX 300/2006, (1490000RON). Partners: SC ICPE SA, Oradea University, Valahia University Targoviste;   

3. “Electromagnetic procedures for flaw shape reconstruction (MAGNED)”, CEEX 79/2005, (1395000RON). Partners: SC ICPE SA, Valahia University Targoviste, Technical University “Gh. Asachi” Iasi; 

4. “Localisation and evaluation of the breast tumour dimension by solving the inverse problem of thermal fields (INVTERM)”, CEEX 125/2006, (1755000RON); Partners: SC ICPE SA, Technical University “Gh. Asachi” Iasi Bucuresti, Titu Maiorescu University, Thermography  Romanian Society, S_IND;

5. “New methods for circuit analysis in time and frequency domain”, Ideas Program, CNCSIS 2009, (990000RON).

Main results:

1. elaboration of a new method for electromagnetic field computation in nonlinear media, knows as: Polarization Method or Fixed Point Method. This new method is, beside Newton-Raphson Method, one of the most important method used for electromagnetic field computation in nonlinear media and it represents the scientific proposal of this project. Today, many researchers prefer the polarization method, due to its clear advantages as compared to the Newton-Raphson Method.

2. a new method for dynamic overrelaxation Picard-Banach iterative procedures; is successfully applied for Polarization Method.

3. a new method for nonlinear resistive circuits computation knows as Equivalent Sources Method; it has the advantages of topological separation in the constitutive relations u-i of the circuit elements.

4. a new method for quasi-stationary 3-D magnetic field with nonlinear media and moving bodies; it uses the eddy current integral equation, the polarization method, the topological calibration condition and the active unknowns associated to the edge elements for cords.

5. elaboration of a new procedure, for the first time, which permits the error evaluation with respect to the exact solution, when the magnetic filed is numerically computed in nonlinear media

6. elaboration of a new procedure, for the first time, permits the electromagnetic field computation of the filed effect circuit elements.

7. formulation and demonstration, for the first time, of the stability and existence theorems for the electromagnetic field in nonlinear media.

8. a new method for edge elements, for integral equation of the magnetic vector A computation; it is used a special form of integral equation, where there are introduced edge elements on the boundary.

9. a new semi-determinsitic method, for flaw shape reconstruction in nondestructive testing, in leakage field, which increases in a spectacular manner the computation speed.

10. electromagnetic field problem computation in periodic regime, in nonlinear media; in comparison to the procedures used nowadays, the new methos has a sure convergence and the less computational effort.

11. a new analysis method for nonlinear circuits in periodic regime

12. a new method for multiply-connected shields for current sheet computation

13. thermographic detection of dimensions and positions of breast tumours
