19 December 1957 Master of Science in Computer Science "Gh. Asachi" Technical University Iasi, Romania
PhD in Electronics, "Gh. Asachi" Technical University Iasi, Ph. D. Thesis Title: "Contributions in speech analysis and synthesis"
Computer Science Research Engineer - Institute of Computer Science
Worked in a team that has developed a Romanian speech synthesis system based on a formantic Klatt synthetizer.
The latest research refers to the Romanian intonation modelling and suited prosodic descriptions in order to annotate the text from the speech synthesizer input.
The research conclusions result in the implementation of a prosodic control module for the Romanian Text-to-Speech system.
Worked in a team that has developed a complex VGA Image Transmission System for Education applications. Designed an algorithm for specific data compression generated by a capture of VGA operations.
Worked in a team that has designed and developed a video CGA card for PCs. Improved the INT 10H BIOS function with the routines for the new graphic modes.
Computer Science Research Engineer - Institute for Computer Techniques Bucharest, Iasi Branch
Worked as software engineer in "Signal 1D Processing" Laboratory.
Designed the software for a Chromatographic signal Analyzer developed on a CP/M machine.
Designed microprograms for an AM2900 family circuits based system.
Implemented FFT algorithms in assembly language on PDP computer.
Computer System Engineer - Computer Center , Focsani, Romania
Implemented improvement in the Symbiont program by adding a new command for saving the print files on the disk. The Symbiont program manages the job execution under SIRIS operating system.
Associate Lecturer in Computer Science - "Gh. Asachi" Technical University, Iasi, Romania
Course taught: "Microprocessor System Architecture".
