پژوهشگر
Ina Țurcan is a Researcher at the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Iasi, Faculty of Horticulture, Department of Exact Sciences, specializing in advanced materials and biosensing technologies. Her work bridges agricultural engineering with cutting-edge electrical characterization techniques. Her primary research domains include: Materials Science Dielectrophoresis Impedance Spectroscopy Ceramic Composites Biosensors Nanomaterials Dr. Țurcan's investigations focus on the development of multifunctional ceramic composites (particularly barium titanate-based systems), electrical property analysis of composite materials via impedance spectroscopy, and dielectrophoretic manipulation of biological cells/nanoparticles using interdigitated microelectrodes. Her recent publications reveal a strong trend toward medical diagnostics applications, particularly in cancer cell detection and gas sensing using MXene-based technologies, with significant contributions to understanding material microstructure-property relationships. She has actively participated in six major research initiatives: MX-VOC (2022-2024): Developing MXene-based chemiresistors for volatile organic compound detection POCU/993/6/13/153322 (UAIC Iași): Postdoctoral researcher for doctoral student training programs uBioDEP (2022-2023): Dielectrophoretic manipulation of biological cells using printed microelectrodes PlasmaPack (2020-2022): Plasma treatment for food packaging materials uCellDetect (2018-2020): Microfluidic platform for circulating tumor cell detection FerroScale (2017-2019): Fundamental research on barium titanate ferroelectrics Dr. Țurcan's laboratory work centers on the preparation of magnetoelectric ceramic composites, metallic nanoparticle synthesis (Ag), impedance spectroscopy, and dielectrophoresis techniques, with membership in the Romanian Physical Society since 2024 driving her interdisciplinary collaborations.
