Petru Boeriu

Petru Boeriu graduated the Civil Engineering Faculty of the Technical University of Timisoara Romania in 1996. He obtains his PhD degree in 1972. In 1990 he is the first head of the Department of Hydraulics and Environment of the Technical University of Timisoara. During this period he is involved in teaching, consultancy and design of hydraulic structures. Starting with 1992 he is a consultant for Delft Hydraulics and since 1993 is becoming staff at IHE, Hydraulic Engineering Core. Between 1996 and present he was involved in several capacity building and consultancy projects. In 2002 he is awarded the title of Honorary Professor at Technical University of Timisoara, Romania.
