I am, since 2011, the lead violinist of the musical band "Shukar Nation", with whom I play pop-rock music merged with Balkan and East-European influences. All these years we brought our live shows to numerous festivals, pubs, weddings and private parties, raising happiness amongst our spectators and creating an atmosphere of joy, dance and good vibes. Musical background: Solo (café-concert), quartet and chamber music. I've started to play the violin when I was 4-years old. I have a solid background in classical music, developed during my high-school and college years (Music School), having gained, in the end, a quite extended repertoire that includes, amongst others, violin works of pre-classical, classical and contemporary composers (Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Bruch, etc.). Pedagogy and teaching experience I worked as a Visiting Researcher - Dept. of Philosophy - Humboldt University, Berlin (2015) and at the University of Cologne (2013). From 2010 to 2017, I taught seminaries on German Idealism - Faculty of Philosophy, “Al. I. Cuza” University, Romania. I defended my PhD thesis in 2013 and my post-doctoral dissertation in 2015. Between 2016 - 2018, I worked as a member of the project “Heritage and Threat (HeAT)”, initiated by the Dept. of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (University of Copenhagen, Denmark). Since 2017, I am working as an Editor for London Academic Publishing, UK.
