Viorica Parvulescu
Viorica Parvulescu is a senior researcher at the Romanian Academy, working in the Laboratory of Chemistry of Surface and Catalysis at the Institute of Physical Chemistry-Ilie Murgulescu. She holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Doctoral School of the Romanian Academy and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Namur, Belgium. For ten years, she served as an associate professor at the University of Bucharest, Romania. Dr. Parvulescu has developed expertise in catalyst preparation, with research interests centered on the structure-property relationship and the development of new nanocomposite materials. These materials include transitional metals, enzymes, organometallic complexes, and metallic nanoparticles supported on polymers and nanostructured oxides, as well as organic-inorganic hybrid materials with catalytic, photocatalytic, and electrophotocatalytic properties. She has authored or co-authored more than 190 publications and six chapters in five books.
