Having a dedicated teacher that did spectacular demonstrations with relatively limited regard for safety may have had something to do with that.
What did Mircea do in Dan’s lab?
In Dan’s lab Mircea worked on the development and electrochemical study of novel electrocatalysts for O 2 evolution from water. In July 2010 Mircea assumed his current position of Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
Where did Mircea go to college?
In the Fall of 2003, Mircea travelled West once again and enrolled in the Chemistry PhD program at the University of California – Berkeley, where he joined the laboratory of Prof. Jeff Long.
