Adrian Sorin Rosca serves as Associate Professor and Director of the Department of Automotive, Transportation and Industrial Engineering within the Faculty of Mechanics at University of Craiova. His dual expertise spans mechanical engineering and public health epidemiology, reflecting an unusual interdisciplinary trajectory from agricultural engineering in the 1970s to contemporary medical research.
His research interests include Industrial Engineering, Computer-Aided Design, Finite Element Analysis, and Public Health Epidemiology. Early work focused on agricultural mechanics and fertilizer effects, evolving through mechanical engineering (thermovision, bioresins, pneumatic systems), and culminating in significant contributions to pandemic response research since 2020. Recent publications demonstrate deep engagement with COVID-19 prognostics, vaccine efficacy, and comorbidity analysis.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a dramatic research pivot: 80% of 2023-2024 works address medical topics while maintaining engineering methodology. This unique crossover combines mechanical modeling approaches with clinical epidemiology, particularly in geriatric pandemic response and comorbidity interactions. His work consistently applies engineering precision to biological systems.
Professional activities include leadership in sustainable development education through Erasmus exchanges and Solar Decathlon participation. His departmental directorship oversees automotive, transportation, and industrial engineering programs with emphasis on transdisciplinary collaboration.
