Adrian Turcanu

Educator/Teacher

I have been an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (MACS) at Heriot-Watt University Dubai (HWUD) since 2018. Currently, I am the Head of Computer Science and Associate Director of Internationalisation at MACS Dubai. My main areas of research are mathematical modelling, statistical analysis and formal verification, with a focus on bio-inspired systems and robotic mechanisms. I graduated from both the Mathematics and Computer Science undergraduate programmes at the University of Pitesti, Romania, and completed my PhD in Computer Science at the same university as part of a European Union-funded programme.
