Dr. Voichita Bucur, currently adjunct professor at RMIT Melbourne, Australia, received her bachelor in Engineering in 1962 from Polytechnic Institute Brasov, Romania, and her PhD in Mechanics and Ultrasonics in 1984 from the Institut Sup�rieur des Materiaux, St Ouen, Paris, France. Her fields of research encompass development of non-destructive techniques (vibrational, acoustic, ultrasonic, X- rays) for the assessment of the quality of trees, wood products and wood-based composites, mechanical characterisation of materials with non-destructive techniques, wood science and technology, and mechanical characterisation of wood for musical instruments.In 2004 she awarded silver medal by Soci�t� d'Encouragement du Progr�s, France, for contributions to mechanics, acoustics, wood science, education and service to the society. In 2007 she had the distinguish award at 15th International Symposium on Nonestructive Testing of wood, Duluth, Minessota, USA, for contribution to the development of nondestructive techniques for wood and wood based composites. .
