Catalin Lisa

Catalin Lisa serves as Head of Works at the Department of Chemical Engineering within the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Protection at Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi. Holding a doctorate in chemical engineering (2010) with a focus on AI applications in polymerization, he has maintained continuous academic engagement since 1988 through teaching and research roles.

His educational background includes an engineering degree in Macromolecular Compounds Technology (1988) and doctoral studies at the same institution. Research interests span mass/heat/momentum transfer, thermodynamic property evaluation, and pioneering AI applications in chemical engineering and ophthalmology. His publication record demonstrates consistent output in fluid dynamics, mixture thermodynamics, and medical AI applications.

Recent scholarly contributions show increasing focus on medical diagnostics (particularly glaucoma progression modeling) while maintaining core chemical engineering research. His work integrates experimental data with neural networks and machine learning across domains from polymer science to ophthalmology.

Led 22 competitive grants (2 as director) with significant research impact: 65 publications (43 ISI), 6 patents, 174+ Web of Science citations, and h-index of 10. Active in academic service as member of admission committees, scientific event organizers, and faculty electoral commissions.

Maintains modern teaching practices through digital course materials (2024 e-learning modules for Hydrodynamic Operations) and laboratory innovations including new 2024 experiments on solid density measurement and aerodynamic profiling. Supervises course projects in chemical reactor design and process scaling.
