About

I’m a teacher, engineer and researcher and active citizen eager to contribute to a better future for all mankind.

  • As a software engineer I’m passionate about creating tools which have a positive impact on peoples’ lives. A tool I created as part of my PhD research is CEDESK.
  • As a university lecturer I love to transmitting knowledge and mentor students in their carreer development me @ ubbcluj.
  • As as researcher so far I’ve worked on Model-Based Systems Engineering, as seen on ResearchGate and GoogleScholar. Currently I’m looking for companies with which to collaborate on solving challenging problems.

In my spare time I engage in promoting a culture of dialogue and universal fraternity with friends of the NGO New Humanity and working together on the United World Project.

Lecturing

I’m currently teaching undergraduate courses in computer science in German language at the Faculy of Mathematics and Computerscience at the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca/Romania. Students can contact me via MsTeams and email.
