PhD. in Mathematics, University Bucharest 2007-2011 Thesis Title: Analytical Methods in Study of Some Singular Integral Equations (SIE) in Unsteady Aerodynamics. Mentor: Dr. Adrian Carabineanu, professor at the University of Bucharest, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Brief Synopsis of Research: Most of the problems in fluid dynamics, generally, and aerodynamics, magnetofluid dynamics, particularly lead to the singular integral equations. Some of these may be reduced to BVPs or may have either analytical or numerical approaches. Based on the Lazar Dragos works: Magneto fluid dynamics (1975) and Mathematical methods in aerodynamics (1999), a detailed study of some hypersingular integral equations for with no analytical solutions known have been made and for some of them new me- thods of solving have been improved. For some particular case of thin lifting profiles and wings, the classical results have been confirmed. The mathematical support is based on distribution theory and the method of fundamental solution associated with complex functions, boundary value problems and elements of special functions. During my PhD., I have also participated to the Seminars of the Continuum Mechanics within Department of Applied Mathematics and I have lectured many conferences. In the last year, I reviewed some papers ref. Abel inversion problems for AMC.
