Interested in amateur astronomy and photography. In the field of meteors, my interests are related to the video method of observing and to meteor spectra, with the goal of starting a video network over Romania as a common effort of a few amateur astronomers and obtaining good meteor spectra. Professionally, I work with the weak gravitational lensing magnification effect to constrain the dark energy equation of state, calibrate with an independent method the scaling relations of galaxy clusters and complement the weak lensing shear measurements.
