Professor Dr.rer.nat. Marius Enachescu with international recognition, being among the world pioneers in designing and building STM-AFM systems as basic instruments for investigations at atomic and nanoscale (at Technical University of Munich, Germany, 1990-1995). After a long period of research in world leading laboratories in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnologies (1995-2009 at Lawrence Berkley laboratory and CEO&CTO-Marena Systems Corporation, Silicon Valley, USA) he returned in his country of origin, Romania, bringing with him an invaluable expertise in exploiting quantum effects and nano-scale phenomena in order to design and develop new fundamental concepts and building innovative devices for various applications, including nanoelectronics, nanofabrication, nanotechnologies, nanotribology, nanomechanics and nanooptics fields. He is currently Professor at University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest and Vice-Rector and Director of Council for Doctoral Studies at the University of Pitesti. Professor Enachescu is the author/co-author of 12 International patents: USA-5, Taiwan-2, Europe-4, China-1; 9 books/chapters, all in international publishing houses; over 100 articles published in ISI journals; author/co-author of ~250 other invited and contributed presentations at various international conferences/congresses. He led over 38 international projects in USA and Europe and has been awarded with gold medals, national and international prizes for his scientific achievements. He is also the founder and Head of the Center for Surface Science and NanoTechnology (CSSNT) at UPB.
