Dumitru Baleanu is a Professor at  the Institute of Space Sciences, Magurele-Bucharest, Romania  and a visiting staff member at the Department of Mathematics,Cankaya University, Ankara, Turkey.

Dumitru Baleanu got his  PhD from the Institute of Atomic Physics in 1996. His fields of interest include the  fractional dynamics and its applications, fractional differential equations and their applications, discrete mathematics, image processing, bio-informatics, mathematical biology,  mathematical physics, soliton theory, Lie symmetry, dynamic systems on time scales, computational complexity, the wavelet method and its applications, quantization of systems with constraints, the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, geometries admitting generic and non-generic symmetries.

Dumitru Baleanu is one of the pioneers of the fractional variational principles and their applications in control theory. He is one of the co-authors of the seminal paper entitled “Anomalous diffusion expressed through fractional order differential operators in the Bloch-Torrey equation”, published in Journal of  Magnetic Resonance  (2008),which  now plays a fundamental role within diffusion weighted MRI.

Besides, together with  G.C. Wu, L.G. Zeng ,X.C. Shi and F. Wu, Dumitru Baleanu is the coauthor of a Chinese  Patent No? ZL 2014 1 0033835.7 regarding the chaotic maps  and its important role in the information encryption.
