He was invited professor at CNRS LAAS in the period 2005-2006 and  2008-2010.He had more than 40 invited papers in UE and and he taught 3  univesity courses in France (Nanoelectronics, 2005-2006), in Germany (Nonlinear Phenomena,1992), and Romania (Advanced technological processes, 2010-2012).

He has published 205 scientific papers from which 102 are in ISI ranked peer reviewed journals which are cited 607 times (without self-citations) and has Hirsch factor =13. The papers are dedicated to the following areas: nanoelectronics, microwaves, MEMS, optoelectronics. My current research interests are relied to nanoelectronics. He is co-author of the following books:
