Mihail Lucian Pascu

He is currently Senior Research Scientist at the National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics and Associated Professor at the Physics Faculty of the University of Bucharest where he heads PhD in Optics, Laser and Spectroscopy. He worked as Science Officer at the European  Commission  DG RTD serving at COST Secretariat for the field Medicine and Health between 2001 – 2004; he was Science Officer of the European Science Foundation  at the COST Office between 2004 and 2006 responsible for Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences. He published more than 120 papers, obtained 10 patents and presented more than 350invited papers or communications at national and international conferences. He co-authored two books. He is member of 12  national or international societies. He is member of five COST European networks in physics or biomedicine and biomedical sciences and liaison expert between COST BMBS Domain Committee and ESF PESC  Standing Committee. His professional interests are focused on inter- and multidisciplinary laser/optical spectroscopy:

• basic research on tunable lasers dedicated to the chaotic properties of the laser beams and the extension of the chaos theory to basic human medicine and to economic systems;
• optical and laser spectroscopy studies in micro-and nano-biomedicine and nano-pharmacology to overpass the resistance to treatment and to develop individual patient treatment procedures
• development of methods to monitor environment (air, water, soil, biosphere) pollutants using laser spectroscopy methods/ techniques (CRDS, FTIR, fluorescence/ luminescence, pump-probe measurements, opto-acoustics). Typical pollutants considered are: NOx , SOx in air, pesticides, oil and oil components in water and soil, presence of pollutants in living organisms.
