Volumes edited in the “Micro and Nanoengineering Series”
The Centre of Nanotechnologies sponsored by the Romanian grant for Centre of Excellence and by the Ministry of Research and Education, had the initiative to realize two volumes “Nanoscience and Nanoengineering” (2002) and “Advances in Micro- and Nanoengineering” (2004) in “Micro and Nanoengineering Series” (Fig. 3).
Dr. Irina Kleps was involed as co-editor in the preparation of these volumes
