Romania
Intro
The particle physics community in Romania is centred around CERN collaborations, carried out by physics institutes and major universities in the country (mainly: Bucharest, Cluj, Iasi, Timisoara).
The promotion of physics, of exact sciences and communication with society are important missions of these entities.
"Particle Physics Masterclasses" is the most prestigious action we do for high school students and offers us excellent feedback.

Gabriel Stoicea
After graduating in Physics in the Faculty of Physics of the University of Bucharest in 1994, I joined IFIN-HH and in the following year I started working for the first time on the FOPI Experiment at GSI Darmstadt, being involved in heavy ion collisions at intermediate and relativistc energies. In 1995 I earned the equivalent of a Master’s degree in Nuclear and Particle Physics from the Faculty of Physics of the University of Bucharest. In 2003 I earned a Ph.D. from the same institution based on my work in the FOPI Experiment at GSI-Darmstadt, concerning collective expansion of hot and compressed nuclear matter produced in central and mid-central heavy ion collisions. In following years I started to be involved in CBM experiment at FAIR/GSI-Darmstadt and ALICE at LHC/CERN. In 2006 I left the former experiments and I joined ATLAS experiment being involved in Grid computing and physics simulations. From 2007 for one year I worked at CERN like a project associate in Grid Deployment Group. From 2008 I came back in IFIN-HH working in ATLAS group and I became the Romanian representative in ATLAS International Computing Board. In addition I joined the H1 experiment at HERA/DESY being involved in excited quarks studies. Since 2008 I have become involved in several high-energy schools activities, conferences and Romanian ATLAS group outreach events. In 2012 I was nominated as the Romanian representative in IPPOG.
