Andrei A. Bunaciu was born in 1955 in Făgăraş, a small Transylvanian town in central Romania. He graduated from the Politehnica University of Bucharest in 1979. He received his Ph.D. from the Politehnica University of Bucharest, Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Analytical Chemistry in ion-selective membrane electrodes applied in pharmaceutical analysis in 1990. For several years he worked as a Senior Researcher at the Central Laboratory for Scientific Control of Biological Products and Veterinary Drugs - Bucharest, the Institute of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research Bucharest, the Romanian Intelligence Service, and in the Vibrational Spectroscopy Department at SCIENT - Research Center for Instrumental Analysis, Tȃncăbeşti - Snagov. Since 2018, he has been the C.E.O. and senior researcher at AAB_IR research Bragadiru company. His research interests concern molecular recognition of pharmaceutical and biological compounds, using infrared spectroscopy techniques. He is the author/co-author of 97 publications in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and food analysis, including a book VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY APPLICATIONS IN BIOMEDICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL AND FOOD SCIENCES, published in 2020 by Elsevier, Inc., as well as three chapters: VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY APPLICATIONS IN DRUG-ANALYSIS, in Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry, 3rd Edition, Lindon, J.C., Tranter, G.E. and Koppenaal, D.W.
