Education

Biography

Dr. Cirtiu completed his Ph.D. in the University of Sherbrooke (2007) under the supervision of prof. Hugues Ménard. His Ph.D. research was on the development of functionalized materials for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation reaction. From 2007 to 2008, Dr. Cirtiu worked as postdoc with prof. Benoît Marsan at UQAM on the fabrication and characterization of semi-conductive nanoparticles for electrochemical solar cell and olivine-type lithium-iron phosphate nanoparticles for Li-ion batteries. In 2008 he joined the group of prof. Audrey Morres in McGill University as postdoctoral fellow to work on the development of new hybrid materials for catalytic reactions as well as the synthesis, characterization and application of zero-valent iron nanoparticles for groundwater remediation. He joined the “Center for Toxicology of Quebec” at National Institute of Public Health of Quebec in 2011 as analytical development chemist. In January 2013 he was named head of Trace Metals Division. His research activities are oriented towards the development of new technologies and methodologies for the analysis of emerging products (nanoparticles, metals, rare earths elements, etc.) in order to advance knowledge in terms of toxicology and human biomonitoring. The scientific contribution can be summarized as follow: 20 articles in peer reviewed journals, 2 patents, 36 oral communications and 25 posters.
