Prof. PhD. Habil.
Silviu Gurlui
Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași
Faculty of Physics

Prof. PhD. Habil. Silviu Gurlui

• has a research activity for over 25 years at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Faculty of Physics, being the director of the Atmosphere Optics, Spectroscopy and Lasers Laboratory(LOASL, http://spectroscopy.phys.uaic.ro/)
• coordinates research in areas including: air pollution, global climate change, optical spectroscopy: methods and instrumentation, applied spectroscopy, atmospheric optics, lasers, active optical / remote sensing (LIDAR), passive optical, laser ablation plasma , technologies for obtaining and characterizing thin layers obtained by laser ablation. Under his coordination, the LOASL laboratory became a national part of the first LIDAR systems network (RADO), member of ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure Network), member of FAIR-Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, Darmstadt, Germany and represents Romania, as an expert, at ESA (European Space Agency).
• has been a visiting professor at several universities and research centers in Europe: Orsay, Paris XI (France), CNRS Orléans (France), University of Angers (France), University of Science and Technology, Lille 1, (France), Institute for Ion Physics and Applied Physics, Innsbruck Experimental Plasma Physics Group, University of Innsbruck (Austria)
• won through research, as project director, 15 research projects worth over 3 million euros. As a partner or member in other projects, Silviu Gurlui has contributed to the success of other projects, whose total value exceeds 20 million euros.

He developed two new technologies in the field of spatio-temporal resolved laser spectroscopy. The first consists in the realization of a laser installation that allows chemical identification, spatial and temporal characterization, analysis of physical transformations in the free atmosphere. This installation can identify traces of high altitude pollutants, analysis of physico-chemical phenomena over very short time intervals. The second installation is one dedicated to the research of the interaction of high power laser pulses with matter in various states of aggregation, in conditions of controlled atmosphere (simulation chamber). The installation allows the spectral characterization of laser ablation particle species with high spatial and temporal resolutions, obtaining thin layers with special physico-chemical properties (required in high energy accelerators at FAIR, Germany). These two research directions related to climate, environment and pollution, respectively the obtaining and characterization of new materials with applications in nanotechnologies and high energy particle physics, are found in several ongoing research projects, as well as in various publications, in important ISI-listed journals: 115 ISI papers, 1200 citations, H-index = 20.
