Maricel Agop, PhD, is a Professor in the Physics Department at Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi and a graduate of the Faculty of Physics, Al. I. Cuza University Iasi. His main area of interest is the use of nonlinear dynamics in the study of different physical systems (plasma, nanostructures, and composites). In recent years, he has turned his attention towards biological systems, especially those connected to the medicine (solid tumors and cancer cells) and pharmaceutical fields (polymeric drug delivery systems). He has published 176 articles in ISI journals, 30 books with Romanian publishers, and 16 books with international publishers, all with impacts reflected in the Hirsch factor value (h-index:17). As a PhD adviser, he has coordinated the doctoral studies of 31 PhD students, and he has also participated in a total of 18 research contracts, 4 as a project director and 14 as a member of the project team.
