Sorin Micu is Professor at the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Craiova, Romania. His main research directions are: Control and stabilization, Partial derivative equations and Numerical analysis. The main purpose of his research activity is to show that innovative mathematical reasoning can lead to new perspectives on the studied phenomena and a deeper understanding of more and more complex physical models. His most important scientific contributions include the study of complex systems that couples vibrations of different natures (the so-called hybrid systems) in terms of their spectral properties, controllability, stabilization and existence of periodic solutions.
