To Whom It May Concern: Reference for Dr. Eugen Zaharescu

I have known Dr. Eugen Zaharescu in the period 2001–2003 when I was aprofessor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the “Ovidius”University of Constanta, Romania.

In 2001 I co-organised, with a group of colleagues from the “Ovid-ius” University, the International Conference Discrete Mathematics andTheoretical Computer Science, DMTCS01, Constanta. Dr. Za-harescu presented at DMTCS2001 the paper “A High-Level Pro-gramming Language for Image Processing Using Mathematical Mor-phology”, https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/research/groups/CDMTCS/

conferences/dmtcs01/acceptpapers.html. This paper studies the fun-damental mathematical morphology operators for binary and gray-levelimages—erosion, dilation, opening and closing, and their implementationin a high-level, object-oriented programming language. The paper was wellappreciated by the referees and at the conference presentation.

Since then, Dr. Zaharescu has published 25 scientific papers in journals andconferences cited in 45 papers according to scholar.google.com.

I have pleasure to recommend Dr. Eugen Zaharescu for the position of pro-fessor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the “Ovidius” Uni-versity of Constanta.

Sincerely,

Cristian S. Calude
