From July 4 to July 12, 2025, I had the great opportunity to participate in the 12th International Congress of the Balkan Physical Union (BPU12) in Bucharest.

🧠 Quantum School: July 4–8

I participated in the school “Frontiers in Quantum Science and Technology”, with lectures from KIT Karlsruhe, Max Planck, and IBM Research Zurich. Topics covered everything from quantum materials to machine learning for quantum applications.

🔬 ELI-NP Visit

A unique highlight was our visit to the Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) in Măgurele, home to the most powerful lasers in the world.

🧾 Poster Presentation: July 10–12

I presented my work titled: “A Smart Radiation Sensor Module with AI Capabilities for CubeSat Missions”.
