Marius-Nicusor Grigore was born on April 18, 1980. Dr. Marius-Nicusor received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in biology from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Ias'i, Romania. He subsequently became a postdoctoral fellow in the field of halophyte ecophysiology at the same university, as well as an invited researcher at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. His primary research interests are in the ecology, anatomy, and physiology of halophytes. He has published 7 books (two authored with Springer) and over 65 peer-reviewed papers on halophytes. In 2016, he was awarded the Romanian Academy's "Emil Racovit'a" prize for the book Halophytes: An Integrative Anatomical Study, published with Springer in 2014. Dr. Marius-Nicusor is currently adjunct professor at the Doctoral School, Faculty of Biology, and an editor at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University Press, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Ias'i, Romania.
