Lucian Pintilie

Lucian Pintilie was born in Romania, in 1959. He received the M.Sc. degree from the Faculty of Physics, Applied Physics, Semiconductor Materials, University of Bucharest in 1984 and the Ph.D. degree (ceramic materials for pyroelectric detection of IR) from the Institute of Atomic Physics, Bucharest, Romania, in 1995. From 1984 to 1987, he was a Physicist with Giurgiu Chemical Plant. Since 1987, he has been a Researcher with the National Institute of Materials Physics (NIMP), Magurele, Romania. From 1997 to 2004, he was the Head of the Laboratory (Semiconductor Physics and Complex Heterostructures). From 2001 to 2003, he was a Visiting Scientist with the Institute for Crystal Growth, Berlin, Germany. From 2002 to 2003, he was an NATO Fellow with the University of Braga, Portugal. From 2003 to 2007, he was a Visiting Researcher with the Max Planck Institute, Halle, Germany. From 2008 to 2013, he was the General Director of NIMP. He is currently the Scientific Director with NIMP. He has extensive experience in ferroelectric ceramics and thin films, electrical characterization; artificial multiferroics; photoelectric and photovoltaic properties in thin films and complex heterostructures; structures for field effect devices; and materials for UV and IR detection. He was the Director and the Co-Director (or responsible) of 15 international and national projects, about seven million euro. He has over 200 entries on Web of Science, over 2300 citations (self citations excluded) with an $H$ -index of 31 (on Web of Science) and with an $H$ -index of 38 (on Google Scholar).
