A new reason for pride for the teaching staff of Politehnica University Timisoara. Professor Nicolae Muntean, from the Faculty of Electrical and Power Engineering within UPT was received as an Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences, thanks to his scientific, didactic, and managerial activity carried out both within the university and in industry.

A graduate of the “Traian Vuia” Polytechnic Institute from Timișoara, Electrotechnics department, class of 1981, he started his career, like many other graduates of the Polytechnic, at the Electrotimiș Enterprise, as a design engineer. After a short internship as a research engineer at ICMET Craiova, he began his teaching career at Politehnica University Timisoara in 1990, going through all the steps: doctor of electrical engineering (in 1994), university professor since 2008, doctoral supervisor since 2009.

Prof. eng. Nicolae Muntean, Ph.D., has over 35 years of experience in the fields of electric drives with power electronics, industrial automation, automotive systems, and renewable energy sources, leads the Research Center "Control of energy conversion and storage", has a special contribution to the development of unique "Power Electronics in Smart Microgrids and Automotive" laboratories in Eastern Europe, and has developed multidisciplinary competitive projects/contracts with domestic and foreign industry. He is a member or coordinator in over 20 research programs with national and international funding. He is also an associate editor of the INSPEC-indexed Journal of Electrical Engineering.

Last but not least, Professor Nicolae Muntean has a rich experience in management, both at the university level (being, in turn, scientific secretary, vice dean, interim dean of the Faculty of Electrical and Power Engineering, but also director of Politehnica Publishing House) and the industrial level (manager at Beespeed Automatizări Timișoara).
