I am teaching and doing research at the University of Bucharest. I have a PhD in philosophy (Radboud University Nijmegen and University of Bucharest), and my research focus is on the history of philosophy and science; in particular, on the relations between philosophy, science, and religion in the early modern period. I am also interested in new scholarly approaches (Digital Humanities) and different ways of communication and dissemination of research results (Open Science). I published two monographs, Cosmologia carteziană [Cartesian Cosmology; in Romanian, 2021] and Descartes and Early French Cartesianism: between metaphysics and physics (Zeta Books, 2017), co-edited the volumes Digital Humanities Synergies: Disciplines, Methods, and Applications (Peter Lang, 2025), Recent Advances in Digital Humanities (Peter Lang, 2022) and Cartesian Empiricisms (Springer, 2013), and collaborated to the production of scholarly editions: "Cosmology and Mosaic Physics. A Critical Edition of Géraud de Cordemoy's Lettre au R. P. Cossart" (Brepols, 2025), “Antoine Le Grand and Jacques Rohault: Le Grand and his Annotations to Rohault’s Treatise on Natural Philosophy” (2022, Open Access) and “Jacques Rohault, Preface to the Traité de Physique. A critical edition and commentary of four early modern versions of Rohault’s preface” (2021, Open Access). I am book review editor at the Centaurus, the Journal of the European Society for the History of Science (ESHS).

Currently, I am coordinating Open Science projects at the University of Bucharest, including a CoARA Boost grant implemented with other CIVIS partners (LERAR, 2025-2026). I am member of the research team for the project Avatar agency. Moral responsibility at the intersection of individual, collective, and artificial social entities in emergent avatar communities (avataResponsibility; ERC funded project by the European Union ERC 101117761).

Recent research projects developed at the Humanities Division of the ICUB include Making Modern Science: tracing the dynamics of a ‘Cartesian Newtonian textbook’ during the Scientific Revolution (CartesianPhysics) and Early Modern Cosmology Between “Mosaic Physics” and Mechanical Philosophy 1650-1713 (Cosmology).
