Daniel Bulacu is Professor in the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Universitatea din Bucure¿ti, Romania. His research interests include graded rings and modules, Hopf algebras and generalizations, (braided) monoidal categories, braid groups, Clifford algebras, Cayley-Dickson algebras, (co)Frobenius (co)algebras, (co)wreaths and derived (co)wreath (co)algebra structures, and Hopf Galois theory. He received the 2009 'Dimitrie Pompeiu' prize from the Romanian Academy.
