Interesele mele de cercetare sunt determinate de următoarele arii de studiu: programare orientată pe obiecte, ingineria sistemelor software, reţele de calculatoare, algoritmi şi structuri de date, bioinformatică şi reţele / sisteme complexe, atât biologice cât şi nebiologice.
My research interests are centred towards the following topics: object oriented programming, software systems engineering, computer networks, algorithms and data structures, bioinformatics and complex networks and systems, both biological and non-biological.
