Background.
In 2010 I have graduated from the department of Social Sciences - Philosophy of the University of Craiova, Romania, with a BA thesis about Imaginary and Media Culture. I explored this theme especially in the regard of Manipulation and Persuasion done by the New Media, on the ways in which this phenomenon has affected the public. Important parts of this thesis are dedicated to the transition from religious symbols to icons and also on the role that Imaginary and Images have in our society.
After graduation I decided to continue my studies in the same department, therefore I opted for a Master in Contemporary Philosophy, which I graduated in 2012.
Main modules included: Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of Mind and Cognition Sciences, Culturological contemporary paradigms, Psychoanalysis.
In my master's thesis I researched the theme of ''Life and the-fact-of dying'' with regard to Martin Heidegger's work. I tried to focus this theme on contemporary problems that we still face today, especially on the ''repression of death''.
I explored this theme from three different perspectives: ethical, religious ( especially between the paradigms from the catholic and lutheran point of view ) and contemporary ( the ''run'' from death and the ''amnesia'' of death ).
During my master's course I have also obtained two Scholarships of Merit from The University of Craiova, for excellence in study during the two years of the Degree.
Having always been interested in multidisciplinary research, I successfully applied for a PhD at the Horizon Digital Economy CDT, University of Nottingham, where I am currently studying. From the beginning of September 2014, I am a Postgraduate Research Student in Nottingham Geospatial Institute and Human Factors Research Group.
