Cristian C. Lalescu received his bachelor’s degree (in physics) from the University of Craiova (Romania) in 2006. He then spent a year at Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) through a student exchange program. In 2007 he started his PhD with one advisor (Daniele Carati) from Universite Libre de Bruxelles and one advisor from the University of Craiova (Bucur Dan Grecu), in a joint program between the two universities. The public defense of his thesis was on the 1st of July 2011, in Craiova, the title being “Test Particle Transport in Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Structures”. Since then Lalescu has been at Johns Hopkins University as a postdoc, where he is working with Gregory Eyink (and others), as part of the Turbulence Database Group. He is currently working on simulations of incompressible Navier-Stokes turbulence, refinement of Navier-Stokes solutions, and Lagrangian statistics of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
