Mircea Nicu\u0219or Nicoar\u0103 is a Professor at the Faculty of Biology of \u201cAlexandru Ioan Cuza\u201d University of Ia\u0219i (UAIC), leader of the UAIC team<\/a> in CERSUS and coordinator of WP4 <\/a>\u2014 Water Resources Management for Recirculating Aquaculture Systems<\/strong>. Specialising in hydrobiology, aquatic ecology and ecotoxicology, his research examines aquatic biodiversity, the effects of contaminants on organisms and ecosystems, and the sustainable management of aquatic resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His expertise connects ecological field assessment with controlled laboratory studies of pollutant toxicity. As WP4 leader, he brings together environmental monitoring, experimental ecotoxicology and aquaculture research to investigate emerging contaminants and pollutant mixtures, assess innovative materials developed within the consortium, and support water quality management in recirculating aquaculture systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research and academic background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He graduated in Biology from \u201cAlexandru Ioan Cuza\u201d University of Ia\u0219i in 1988. His doctoral research investigated the influence of pollution and the Danube\u2013Black Sea Canal on gastropod communities along the Romanian Black Sea coast. He holds a doctorate in Biology\u2013Zoology, awarded in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His habilitation research addressed the application of ecotoxicological analysis to the assessment of aquatic environmental quality. He has been a doctoral supervisor in Environmental Science since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His international training includes a marine biology research placement at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom, alongside academic exchanges, specialist workshops and ecological summer schools. These activities have strengthened his experience in aquatic ecology, environmental monitoring and international research cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His principal research areas include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
