Nicolae Bălcescu Land Forces Academy | Romania
Mr. Teodor-Mihail Giurgică is an early-career researcher and engineering student at the Nicolae Bălcescu Land Forces Academy, Sibiu (Romania), specializing in Engineering and Management in Military Communications. His research expertise lies at the intersection of distributed computing, cloud-native systems, edge computing, and resilient communication infrastructures, with a strong focus on field-deployable and mission-critical environments. He is the lead author of one peer-reviewed journal article published in Applied Sciences (MDPI, 2025), which proposes a field-deployable Kubernetes cluster architecture to enhance computing capabilities in remote and resource-constrained scenarios. This work demonstrates practical innovation with relevance to defense operations, disaster response, and remote scientific missions. His research involves international collaboration with multidisciplinary co-authors, reflecting an integrative and systems-oriented approach. While citation metrics are still emerging due to the recent publication, his work shows high applied and societal impact potential, contributing to secure, scalable, and resilient digital infrastructures for real-world deployment in critical environments.
