My name is Zoran Constantinescu and this is,
actually it should be :-) my home page. I'll try to put here as much
information as possible about me and my work. Since I don't like
to talk about me, most of the information will be about projects
I developed sometimes or I'm developing now. Of course, as always
an exception exists, here is a link to my
curriculum vitae, and to my
list of publications.
I am working as an associate professor at
Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti (UPG),
Department of Informatics, Information Technology, Mathematics and Physics (iTIMF).
I am also the director of the CerTIMF Research Center (old site CerTIMF).
I am also working part-time as R&D Manager for ZealSoft Ltd., Bucharest.
Research Interests:
As a computer science graduate, my main field of interest is, of
course, ... computer science. I mostly consider it as a
hobby. Other, more specific interests are:
... autonomic computing systems, real time and embedded intelligent systems
... digital electronics and microcontrollers based design and programming
... computer networking and communication protocols, Internet technologies
... human behaviour understanding
... plants understanding
... system dynamics analysis
... parallel and distributed programming, clustering, desktop grid computing
... and the penguin... I am a Linux enthusiast since 1994 (20+ years).
I finished my PhD in Computer Science in 2008, at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
Trondheim, Department of Computer and Information Sciences
(NTNU), Division of Intelligent Systems.
My topic of research was using distributed computing for large scale
scientific visualization. A short description can be found here, and the full thesis can be downloaded from here (pdf).
Current Projects:
- Greenlin - development of an indoor vertical farming system
- HyRok - development of a hybrid rocket engine - a research project financed by the Romanian Space Agency
- CerTIMF - Head of CerTIMF Research Center, iTIMF Department, Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti - Embedded and deep learning AI projects
- Supervising Bachelor and Masters theses in Computer Science at the iTIMF Department, Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti
- Gipix - GPS/GSM vehicle tracking device and integrated monitoring system, eCall ready - photo gallery
- 3D printer - RepRap diy printer (video)
- Cooking - some of the cooking i've done.
Old Projects:
These are projects I worked sometime ago, either at the University as
a student, at work at companies or other smaller or larger hacking projects.
