Meet the editors

Dr. Calin Buzea currently works as a medical physicist at the Regional Institute of Oncology in Iasi, Romania. He is an international researcher with more than 25 years of experience in the field of theoretical, computational, and experimental physics. He is also an expert in medical physics with more than 15 years of clinical experience in hospitals. Today, he is focused on the dissemination and development of precision

medicine-based radiomics.

Dr. Maricel Agop currently works as a professor at "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical Univeristy of Iasi, Romania. He is an international researcher with more than 30 years of experience in the field of theoretical physics. His expertise pertains to the topics of non-linearity, chaos theory, quantum mechanics, and fractals. Dr. Agop completed his PhD in Physics in 1983 at University "Al. I. Cuza" Iasi, Romania. He has published more than 200 papers

in ISI journals, several books (or book chapters), and participated in national and international conferences and workshops. Dr. Agop is a Corresponding Member of the Romanian Academy of Science and Dr.h.c. of "Vasile Alecsandri" University of Bacau. He is also an editorial board member of several scientific journals.

Dr. Butler is currently an associate professor of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. He completed a degree in economics at the University of Ottawa (1990–1993); worked as a research assistant at the Bank of Canada (1993– 1995); and studied mathematics at Queen's University (1995– 2000) where he obtained an MSc and PhD. He has held positions at Northwestern University, Queen's University, University of Ed-

inburgh, Central Michigan University, and North Dakota State University. His main research interests include Hamiltonian mechanics. He currently holds an NSERC Discovery Grant on the topic of thermostat dynamics.
