BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Ioan Sarbu is a professor emeritus and doctoral degree advisor of the Department of Civil and Building Services Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Timisoara (UPT), Romania. He obtained a diploma in civil engineering from the “Traian Vuia” Polytechnic Institute of Timisoara in 1975 and a PhD degree in civil engineering from the Timisoara Technical University in 1993. Starting in 1975, he worked as an engineer and designer with Water Resources Management Company in Timisoara. He became an assistant professor with the university in 1978, ultimately dedicating over 40 years to his alma mater. Additionally, he is a European engineer (Eur. Eng.), as designated by the European Federation of National Engineering Associations (Brussels) in 2001, and since 2004 was entrusted as a doctoral degree advisor in the civil engineering and building services branch coordinating up to 20 PhD students, almost 50 MSc students, and more than 200 graduate students. In 2019 he was awarded by the UPT the honorary title of "Professor emeritus" and became a Laureate of the "Henri Coanda" award of the Romanian Academy for 2017.
He was Head of the Building Services Department within the UPT for almost 20 years, until his retirement in 2017, and between 2001 and 2017 he was also Head of the National Building Equipment Laboratory in Timisoara, of the 1st degree.
His main research interests are related to refrigeration systems, heat pumps, and solar energy conversion and storage. He is also active in the field of thermal comfort and environmental quality, energy efficiency and energy savings, water and heat distribution systems, and numerical simulations and optimizations in building services. He is involved in preparation of regulations and standards related to energy and environment. Additionally, he is a member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), Romanian Association of Building Services Engineers (RABSE), Romanian General Association of Engineers (RGAE), and Society for Computer Aided Engineering (SCAE). He was an expert reviewer on the National Board of Scientific Research for Higher Education (Bucharest), vice president of the National Board of Certified Energetically Auditors Buildings (Bucharest), a member of the National Council for Validation of University Titles, Diplomas and Certificates, a member of the Technical Council for Civil Engineering from Ministry of Regional Development and Public Administration, a member in Editorial Board of several journal as Energies, Science Bulletin of Polytechnic University and Romanian Journal of Civil Engineering, a guest editor at Energies open access journal, and a reviewer in over 20 international journals with high impact factor.
He has published over 380 scientific papers in his research domains, 26 books and 10 book chapters in prestigious publishers in the country (Technique, Romanian Academy) and abroad (Elsevier, Springer, Nova Science Publishers), more than 150 articles in ISI-Web of Science (WOS) and BDI indexed journals, and about 60 articles in proceedings of international conferences. He is also author of 6 patent certificates, 15 innovations and up to 30 computer programs. His current h-index is 12 (Clarivate Analytics WOS) 14 (Scopus) and 18 (Google Scholar) as of January 2020.
His international recognition is evidenced by the high number of citations of his published works, well over 3000 (over 700 in Clarivate Analytics WOS), by the listing in different Who's Who publications (e.g. Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, and Who’s Who in America) and other biographical dictionaries, as well as by the various distinctions, awards, diplomas and medals received during his career: (1) Distinctions: “Distinguished Assistant Professor” (Ministry of Education, Bucharest), “Cultural merit for outstanding achievement in scientific research” (International Biographical Centre (IBC) Cambridge); (2) Awards: “AGIR 1997 Award” (RGAE), “Henri Coandă Award” (Romanian Academy), “Albert Einstein Award of Excellence” (American Biographical Institute (ABI) North Carolina), “Oustanding Engineering Achievement Award” (IBC Cambridge); (3) Plaques: “Hall of Fame for Distinguished Accomplishments in Science and Education” (ABI North Carolina), “Ultimate Achiever Award for Engineering” (IBC Cambridge); (4) Medals: “Gold Medal for Romania” (ABI North Carolina), “Medal for Scientific Achievements” (IBC Cambridge).
