On Tuesday, February 2, Fulbright Scholar Grigore Stamatescu will give a lecture on “Wireless Sensor Networks for Building Energy Management” at the invitation of the International Technological University of San Jose. The event is supported by the Fulbright Outreach Lecturing Fund program (OLF), which allows Fulbright Visiting Scholars who are currently in the U.S. to visit other universities across the country, in order to become better acquainted with the U.S. higher education and build networks between their home and host institutions. Dr. Stamatescu is now a 2015-2016 Fulbright Visiting Scholar affiliated with the University of California, Merced, cooperating with Prof. Alberto Cerpa on topics focused on building thermal energy management. Dr. Stamatescu’s research concentration is in the field of intelligent and network sensing control, industrial informatics and pervasive computing. Upon return Dr. Stamatescu will share the acquired experience with his colleagues and students from the University Politehnica of Bucharest, the Department of Automatic Control, where he is an Assistant Professor.
