Corneliu Doroftei

Corneliu Doroftei is a Senior Researcher at ICI-UAIC, CERNESIM Center, L3C Laboratory, affiliated with the Department of Exact and Natural Sciences at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University. His work focuses on developing advanced materials for environmental monitoring and pollution control.

His research specializes in gas, humidity, and magnetic field sensors based on nanostructured oxide compounds, alongside catalysts for catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds. Key methodologies include sol-gel self-combustion, pulsed laser deposition, and hydrothermal synthesis to engineer materials with tailored electrical, optical, and structural properties for sensor and catalyst applications.

Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory centered on perovskite catalysts (e.g., La-Fe-O, FeMnO3), oxide nanocomposites (e.g., ZnO/rGO), and thin-film heterostructures (e.g., InSe/In2O3). His work consistently bridges materials synthesis with comprehensive characterization to advance environmental sensor technologies and catalytic systems for industrial implementation.

Doroftei operates within the CERNESIM Center and L3C Laboratory, driving interdisciplinary research in materials science for environmental remediation through sensor development and catalytic combustion solutions.
