. Here he met Otto Redlich with whom he studied the properties of heavy water between 1932-1935.
Returning home he taught a course titled Processes and Devices in Chemical Industry forerunner of chemical engineering courses in Romania.
Otto Redlich
Otto Redlich was an Austrian physical chemist and chemical engineer who is best known for his development of equations of state like Redlich-Kwong equation. Besides this he had numerous other contributions to science....

Heavy water
Heavy water is water highly enriched in the hydrogen isotope deuterium; e.g., heavy water used in CANDU reactors is 99.75% enriched by hydrogen atom-fraction...

Life and work
He was born in Bucharest and studied at the National School of Bridges and Roads, the future Polytechnic University of Bucharest. He then attended the Technical University of Vienna specializing in physical chemistry and electrochemistryElectrochemistry
Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies chemical reactions which take place in a solution at the interface of an electron conductor and an ionic conductor , and which involve electron transfer between the electrode and the electrolyte or species in solution.If a chemical reaction is...
