Dr. Alexandru Nicolin-Żaczek is an exceptional scientist with an extensive career in physics and space sciences. Since 2019, he has held the position of Senior Researcher at the Institute of Space Sciences in Măgurele, Ilfov. Prior to this position, he spent nearly 11 years conducting scientific research at the Horia Hulubei National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH) in Măgurele, where he rose through the ranks from Junior Scientist to Senior Scientist CS I. During this period, he contributed important research in computational physics, studying transport phenomena in nuclear systems and nonlinear effects in ultra-cold quantum gases.
In terms of academic training, Dr. Nicolin-Żaczek completed his undergraduate studies at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, then specialized at the University of Copenhagen, where he obtained both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees, as well as a doctorate in physics.
For his scientific contributions, Dr. Nicolin-Żaczek was awarded the Constantin Miculescu Prize by the Romanian Academy in 2013. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in research and is given to those who make major contributions to the field of physics, validating their impact on the scientific community, especially for their work at IFIN-HH.
The event is organized through the Research Career Counseling and Guidance Center – Western Region project and is dedicated to those passionate about science and exploring new frontiers in research.
