Dr. Romeo-Iulian Olariu is a University Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry and the Director of CERNESIM Center from the “Alexandru Ion Cuza” University of Iasi. He graduated the Faculty of Chemistry in 1995 and in 1996 completed his master’s degree at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iaşi. During 1998-2002 he did his doctoral studies at the Bergische Universität Gesamthochscule Wuppertal, Germany, where he defended his doctoral thesis on 14.12.2001. In 2016 obtained the habilitation in the Chemistry domain. Dr. Romeo-Iulian Olariu research directions are related to analytical chemistry atmospheric chemistry. The research activity focuses on identification and quantification of organic and inorganic pollutants present in air, water, soil; reactivity and reaction mechanisms for photochemical processes induced by radical species (OH, NO₃, etc.) on organic compounds in air and water; on adequate instrumental techniques (spectroscopic and chromatographic) for the identification and quantification of specific analytes from various natural matrices (air, water, soil, biological matrices); on development and characterization of new materials for solid phase extraction in the form of stationary phases
