Dr. Mihaela Sofronie is a Scientific Researcher II at the Laboratory of Magnetism and Superconductivity within the National Institute of Materials Physics. Her research focuses on advanced magnetic materials, particularly ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs), nanocomposites, and functional materials for medical and technological applications. She utilizes rapid solidification techniques, severe plastic deformation, and mechanochemical processing to engineer materials with tailored properties. Her primary research interests include: Martensitic transformations and phase dynamics in shape memory alloys Magnetic and magnetostrictive properties of nanostructured materials Development of biomedical implants using functionalized ferromagnetic alloys Nanocomposite fabrication through high-pressure torsion and mechanochemical synthesis Thermodynamic modeling of phase transitions and memory effects Analysis of her recent publications reveals strong emphasis on experimental materials science, with consistent focus on: Structure-property relationships in Ni-Mn-Ga, Fe-Pd, and rare-earth containing FSMAs Effects of thermal treatments and processing parameters on phase transformations Advanced characterization techniques including XRD, SEM, DSC, and magnetometry Practical applications in medical implants, sensors, and actuators Dr. Sofronie collaborates extensively within her laboratory and with external researchers on projects involving magnetic nanomaterials, with recent work exploring ferromagnetic ribbons as active elements in micropumps and vascular implants. She maintains active research in both fundamental materials physics and applied technology development.
