Fărcaş Felix

Fărcaş Felix serves as an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca since 2001, teaching in the postgraduate school and master's program in Applied Informatics. Concurrently, he has been a researcher at the National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies (INCDTIM) in Cluj-Napoca since 2006, managing the RO-14-ITIM Grid site and developing the EGI-registered itimcloud platform through the project "Development of the INCDTIM DATA CENTER for the realization of a CLOUD platform, integrated in European CDI networks".

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Systems Engineering, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, 2010
• Master's in Industrial Informatics, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, 2001
• Bachelor's in Systems Engineering, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, 1998

His research centers on distributed computing infrastructure with deep expertise in Grid and Cloud Computing, Computer Networking (including IPv6), Network Infrastructure, Infrastructure Monitoring, and Linux Systems Administration. Key contributions include Romania's CONDEGRID project for particle physics computing and enterprise R&D projects involving cloud platform integration with European networks. Technical focus areas consistently align with scientific computing requirements rather than social applications despite "Social Networking Websites" appearing in his expertise list.

He coordinates research grants as project leader for national and international programs, manages significant R&D projects for enterprises, and serves as a scientific reviewer. His advisory role primarily involves master's students in Applied Informatics, though specific names are unlisted.

At INCDTIM, he operates within the Advanced Hi-Tech Engineering and Molecular Technologies research group, maintaining both the RO-14-ITIM Grid site and itimcloud platform. His work directly supports European scientific computing networks like EGI.
