I am currently Teaching Assistant at the Faculty of Sciences, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Sibiu, Romania. My major research interests focus on the development of innovative and versatile plasmon-based sensor designs able to operate with high efficiency and sensitivity in detection applications in the fields of (bio)medicine, food safety and environmental monitoring. As a secondary research direction, I am interested in the development of hybrid therapeutic nano-agents for alternative cancer treatments such as Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy.
