Horia Hulubei

Hello! Because it is Thursday, today I will present you a personality in the field of Romanian scientists.

Horia Hulubei (born November 15, 1896, Iasi - died November 22, 1972, Bucharest) was a Romanian physicist, member of the Romanian Academy.

Higher education, which began in 1915, the high school, are interrupted by the entry of Romania into the war. He fought on the front as infantry in Romania, taking part in the glorious battle of Marasesti and then as a pilot in France, a group of young people recruited by the head of the French military mission in Romania, General Berthelot, was wounded and decorated.

After World War resumes his studies and devote themselves to end their education, becoming successively assistant, then assistant professor of physical chemistry at the University of Iasi. Wanting to be in contact with the most representative scholars of the time, conducting a research in Physical Chemistry Laboratory at the Sorbonne, Paris, lab led at that time by the famous scientist Jean Perrin - working here with interruptions in During the years 1927 to 1938.

In 1933, he obtained his doctorate in physics in Paris, peaking director of research at the University of Paris. Horia Hulubei activates held in the country, is, in turn, associate professor at the University of Iasi and then Bucharest, where, besides intense scientific research work, has a very rich research and organization of the Institute of Physics, created in 1948 and he runs until 1965, when it passes the head of the Institute of Atomic Physics, the newly created.

Horia Hulubei has the merit of being formed generations of specialists in atomic and nuclear physics. Meanwhile, he was awarded and through important scientific discoveries. Thus obtained - first in the world - X-ray spectra in gases. To this end, he built a special spectrometer, own conception. Roman scholar has made important contributions in neutron physics, the study of transuranic elements in the study of nuclear reactions, especially in terms of nuclear interactions at low energies, medium and high. He studied also decays.

For his very remarkable, Horia received numerous awards Hulubei science from the country and abroad, being simultaneously a member of many academies and scientific societies prestigious national and international in 1937 was elected a corresponding member of Romanian Academy and member of the Academy in 1955 RPR "One of my greatest satisfactions - he said - is that by establishing the Institute of Atomic Physics, has made the possibility of increases in the country eminent physicists staff - many of whom have already known the world works, bringing prestige of science Romanian and ensuring the exchange of tomorrow in this sector. They made a significant contribution to the country's economy through their work. "

And here is how Romania proved by another man that can offer something special.

God bless you!
