Application-Specific Hardware Architecture Design with VHDL

Bogdan Belean was born in Tirgu-Mures, Romania, on February 7, 1983. He received the B.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electronics and telecommunication engineering from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania in 2006 and 2010, respectively. Since 2008, he is involved in didactic activates as a research assistant and later as a Lecturer within the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Department of Communications. In 2011, Dr. Belean joined the department of Applied Physics within the National Institute for R&D of Isotopic and Molecular Technology, Cluj-Napoca. His research interests include signal and image processing, bioinformatics and application specific hardware architectures for parallel computing. His research results include over 30 publications and two open-source software solutions for bio-medical image analysis.
