Viorel Grigorcea is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science within the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at the University of State of Moldova (USM). He has been with USM since 1997, becoming a senior lecturer by competition in 2002, and has served as Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics since that same year. His academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics from USM (1991-1996), followed by a Doctorate in Computer Programming from the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Romanian Academy of Sciences (1996-1999).

His teaching portfolio includes a comprehensive range of computer science courses:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Logic Programming
• Functional Programming
• Object-Oriented Programming
• Programming Fundamentals
• Programming Techniques
• Computer Architecture
• Operating Systems
• Expert Systems

Grigorcea's research has evolved over time, with early work focusing on analogical reasoning, case-based reasoning, and attribute modeling in artificial intelligence systems. In recent years, his research has expanded to include educational assessment, particularly evaluating school results and basic skills of primary and secondary school graduates in Mathematics, Romanian, and Russian.

His scientific activity includes continuous collaboration since 2001 on the institutional project 'Research and development of theoretical and practical aspects of modern programming technologies,' building on his earlier work in artificial intelligence systems.

Grigorcea is associated with the Web Programming Section at USM, reflecting his engagement with practical programming technologies and applications.
