The Institute of Physics of the Romanian Academy was established in 1949. Its founding father, Horia Hulubei (PhD in Paris under Nobel Prize winners Pierre and Marie Curie) is a world-famous scientist for his outstanding results in various areas of physics, including RAMAN, X rays, Compton, atomic and nuclear physics. In 1956, the Institute of Physics, of the Romanian Academy, split according to a political decision into an Institute of Atomic Physics (IFA), located at Magurele, and the Bucharest Institute of Physics (IFB), based initially at the Faculty of Physics in the old edifice of the Bucharest University, and later in a building at 114 Calea Victoriei Street. The Institute moved again in 1974, at its present location in Magurele, Atomistilor 405A. The Institute of Physics and Technology of Materials came into being in 1977 by the union of some laboratories belonging to the Bucharest Institute of Physics and the Institute of Atomic Physics (IFA-Bucharest). The actual name (National Institute of Materials Physics-NIMP) was given in 1996 after a national accreditation procedure (re-accreditation in 2008 and 2016). Over 35 million euros were invested in a new laboratory building, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and in rehabilitation of the Otetelesanu mansion, the headquarters of the first Institute of Physics of the Romanian Academy. NIMP is among the founders of the Central European Research Infrastructure (C-ERIC, https://www.ceric-eric.eu/),,) it is an associated member of the French Speaking Universities (AUF, https://www.auf.org/),,) and has under its umbrella a category 2 UNESCO center (“CENTRE INTERNATIONAL DE FORMATION ET DE RECHERCHE AVANCÉES EN PHYSIQUE”, http://cifra.infim.ro/). INCDFM is devoted to fundamental and applied research within solid-state physics and materials research and is highly regarded for its international projects (R&D projects and networks with support for EU, and bilateral agreements). In particular, INCDFM has conducted two projects for development of the research infrastructure CEUREMVASU/2009, RITECC/2014.

About me

Dr. Oana Rasoga (Grigorescu) is a Scientific Researcher II (permanent position) at the National Institute of Materials Physics in Optical Processes in Nanostructured Materials Laboratory. She graduated from the Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest in 2006 and obtained an MSc degree in “Computer science-physics, econophysics, condensed matter and polymer physics, theoretical physics” domain in 2008. She received her doctoral degree in in the field of "Condensed matter", in 21.12. 2011/ Order No. 6697 issued by the Minister of National Education. In her academic career, she has published 53 papers in national/international scientific journals, from which 13 as first/corresponding author, achieving an H index of 13(according to Web of Science) . Likewise, she is the co-author of 2 patent requests and one-chapter book.

Regarding her experience in project implementation, she coordinated two granted projects: one international project, EEA grant type of 1.200.000 EURO (360.000 EURO the project leader amount) and one national project, Exploratory Research Project (ECP) type (having the budget of ⁓ 246.048 EURO at the beginning of the project euro) and currently she is the project responsible for the project „Ultra-sensitive optical sensor system for simultaneous, in-situ detection of multiple pesticides in surface and ground waters (2024-2027)”,-Water4all call, funded by Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, CNCS-UEFISCDI– UEFISCDI and European Union, 90.000 EURO.

She was in charge of the professional training of some young people: (i) Ms. Carmen Breazu - helping her to complete her dissertation work entitled "Studies on layers thin layers of amyloid beta with implications for the onset of Alzheimer's disease” (2013), (ii) Drd. Anne Lutgard Djumessi and (iii) Drd. Unathi Sidwaba from Capetown, South Africa, showing them how to deposit thin layers of polyprolylentioimine and diisonaphthalenediimine by spincoating, respectively of compounds based on titanium oxide and polyaniline via MAPLE, (iv) Drd. Abdelbassat Kenane (Algeria) (from Oct. 2018-Aug. 2020) – we performed measurements on nanocomposite powders synthesized by him (polyaniline/montmorillonite) and MAPLE depositions of the synthesized compounds, (v) Dr. Hamza Saidi (Tunisia) Bourses de recherche doctorale et postdoctorale «Eugen Ionescu» (AUF scholarship holder) for a period of 3 months and (vi) Dhifaoui Hassen – 3 months with AUF scholarship holder.

Her field of work is related to (1) organic thin films deposition by vacuum evaporation, spincoating and Langmuir Blodgett; (2) optical and electrical characterization of organic thin films for organic photovoltaic applications; (3) patterning techniques using Electron beam lithography or UV-Nanoimprit technique to metalens/ metasurface fabrication or sensor.
