Corneliu Barbulescu was born on October 23, 1961, in Romania. Currently he is a researcher at the Politehnica University Timisoara. He graduated from the Polytechnic Institute of Timișoara in Computer Science (Dipl. Eng., 1987) and started to work as a researcher at the Institute of Computer Technology Timisoara. Between 1991 and 2001, he was a software developer in the telecommunication domain and after that, for 15 years, as a project manager for electronic automotive products. Since 2016, he has been certified as a Project Manager Professional (PMP) of the Project Management Institute of Philadelphia, USA. Being passionate about real-time systems based on high-power performance computing architecture, in 2018 he started his doctoral studies in System Engineering at Politehnica University Timișoara. During his activity, he became the main inventor for 3 patents related to electronic products.
