Liviu NEDELCU

Dr. Liviu NEDELCU is a Scientific Researcher II at the National Institute of Materials Physics (NIMP) in Romania, where he has been working continuously since 2002. He earned his undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Physics - Section 'Materials Science and Technology' at University of Bucharest in 2002, followed by an MSc in 'Materials Physics' in 2004, and completed his PhD in Physics in 2011, all from the University of Bucharest.

His research program centers on:

• Development of dielectric materials for microwave, millimeter wave, and terahertz applications
• Dielectric polarization and ferroelectric phase transitions
• Solid-state synthesis methods for electroceramics
• Advanced characterization techniques including XRD, SEM, and broadband dielectric measurements
• Microwave dielectrics, dielectric resonators, and tunable capacitors

Dr. NEDELCU's publication record demonstrates consistent research excellence with 52 articles in Web of Science journals, an H-index of 15, and 530 citations (excluding self-citations). His recent work (2020-2025) shows a strategic expansion into biomedical applications of piezoelectric materials, terahertz characterization techniques, and sustainable materials development, reflecting his ability to bridge fundamental materials science with practical applications across multiple domains.

His research achievements include:

• 1 awarded patent (RO 131868 B1) for 'Process for obtaining of Mg4Nb2O9 ceramics with low absorption in terahertz domain'
• Coordination of 1 international project and 6 national projects (4 as Principal Investigator)
• Active scientific reviewing for prestigious journals including Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Materials Science and Engineering B, and IEEE Access

Dr. NEDELCU maintains professional profiles through UEFISCDI ID (U-1700-039C-8541), ORCID ID (0000-0002-0612-590X), and WoS ResearcherID (B-9882-2011), documenting his comprehensive scholarly contributions to materials science.
