An experienced Thermal Solution Expert and currently a Ph.D. student at Politehnica University of Timisoara focused on Thermal Optimization for Electronic Control Units (ECUs). A perseverant person, always dedicated to learning, exploring, and acquiring knowledge in thermal phenomena, electronics cooling, heat transfer, and testing methods. Also, I am a well-organized person, attentive to details, self-learner, self-motivated, and curious. A constant desire for improving and developing skills in exploring new technologies. Lately, I focused on the Design of Six Sigma methodology that I applied in the thermal behavior optimization used in automotive industries. Strong knowledge in passive cooling optimization, fan, liquid, heatpipe, Peltier cooling solutions and their technical limitations. I seek to participate and present my research thermal studies to international thermal conferences, and I can transfer complex knowledge into best practice and working methodology for my colleagues.
