Andreea Georgiana Bulai (born Andreea Georgiana Dascălu) is a scientific researcher (CS II Dr.) at the Department of Exact Sciences and Natural Sciences, Integrated Centre for Environmental Science Studies in the North-East Development Region (CERNESIM), “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași (UAIC), Romania. Her academic work spans materials physics, magnetic and magnetostrictive thin films, and laser-matter interaction within the broader field of condensed matter physics. (orcid.org)
She completed her Ph.D. in Physics at UAIC in 2012, defending a thesis titled “Contribuții la studiul straturilor subțiri de ferită de cobalt depuse prin ablație laser”, under the supervision of Prof. Ovidiu Florin Călțun. (phys.uaic.ro)
Research Focus & Expertise
Bulai’s research is located at the intersection of magnetic materials, ferrite thin films, laser ablation deposition techniques, and advanced materials characterization. Her expertise includes:
- Ferrite-based magnetic and magnetostrictive thin films — synthesis and property tuning for technological applications. (orcid.org)
- Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of complex oxide materials and related laser-matter interaction processes. (orcid.org)
- Materials diagnostics using structural, magnetic and surface analysis techniques (e.g., XRD, SEM/EDX, Raman, UV-VIS). (orcid.org)
Examples of her co-authored recent research include work on rare-earth doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles, relevant for magnetic hyperthermia and nanomaterial engineering. (Preprints)
Publications & Scholarly Output
While a comprehensive Clarivate Web of Science / Scopus profile under “Georgiana Andreea Dascălu” is not easily found, her work appears in peer-reviewed physics and materials science journals and conference proceedings under the name Andreea Georgiana Bulai, with multiple co-authored research articles. One identifiable publication is:
- Heating efficiency of CoFe2-xRExO4 (RE=Dy, Yb, Gd) magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia applications — Bulai and collaborators report synthesis and magnetic characterization of doped cobalt ferrite systems for biomedical and technological uses. (Preprints)
To establish a precise number of papers, Hirsch index, most-cited list, and citation counts, a targeted Clarivate Web of Science Citation Report or Scopus Author Profile match would be required (likely under her ORCID: 0000-0001-6453-9644). (orcid.org)
Academic Contributions & Recognition
- Doctoral Research Supervision: Her completed Ph.D. contributed to advancing the understanding of cobalt ferrite thin films by laser ablation, a niche area in magnetism and materials processing. (phys.uaic.ro)
- Research Roles: As Scientific Researcher II Dr. at CERNESIM/UAIC, she contributes to team-based experimental research and collaborative publications in physics and materials science. (ici.uaic.ro)
International Cooperation & Projects
While specific international grants or multi-institution projects linked to her name are not prominently visible on institutional websites, her publication record shows international collaboration with researchers from institutions such as Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) on nanomaterials research. (Preprints)
UAIC itself engages in broad global research networks and participates in hundreds of national and international research projects, providing context for Bulai’s collaborative environment. (Wikipédia)
Books & Scholarly Chapters
There is no direct evidence of authored or edited books under her name in major catalogues, which is typical for researchers at early to mid stages in their academic careers in physics. However, she has contributed to peer-reviewed journal literature and conference presentations/abstracts, which are core to scientific dissemination in her field.
Teaching & Academic Service
Her current role is focused on research and laboratory work, consistent with a Scientific Researcher II, Dr. designation at UAIC’s CERNESIM centre. There is no public listing of formal professorial teaching duties in undergraduate curricula, though research centre staff often engage in seminars, doctoral training, and student supervision.
Summary
Andreea Georgiana Bulai (née Dascălu) is a Romanian physicist and scientific researcher affiliated with “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, specializing in magnetic materials, thin film deposition by laser ablation, and advanced materials characterization. She completed her Ph.D. in 2012, has co-authored multiple peer-reviewed research articles, and participates in collaborative international research. Detailed bibliometric indices (number of published papers, Hirsch index, most cited works) require author disambiguation across her current and former surnames in citation databases. (orcid.org)
