Alexandru-Ionuț Petrișor (born 6 July 1975) is a Romanian academic and researcher specializing in urban and landscape ecology. He is a professor at the Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest, where he also serves as director of the Doctoral School of Urban Planning. He additionally holds teaching responsibilities as a professor at the Technical University of Moldova in Chișinău and is a researcher at the National Institute for Research and Development in Constructions, Urbanism and Sustainable Spatial Development (URBAN-INCERC) in Bucharest, where he has research and editorial responsibilities.[1][2]

Early life and education

Petrișor studied ecology at the University of Bucharest, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1997. He later earned a Master of Science in public health with a specialization in biostatistics from the University of South Carolina in 2000. At the same institution, he completed a PhD in environmental health sciences in 2004.[3] He earned a second doctorate in geography from the University of Bucharest in 2011 and subsequently obtained a postgraduate certificate in European Project Management from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. In 2014, he obtained his habilitation in urban planning from the Romanian Ministry of Education.[4]

Academic career

Petrișor joined the faculty of the Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism in 2009 as an assistant professor (lecturer). He was promoted to associate professor in 2016 and to full professor in 2022. In 2015, he co-founded the Doctoral School of Urban Planning at the university, the first doctoral program in Romania dedicated exclusively to this field.[5]

He has also served as a visiting professor in Malaysia and Algeria and has contributed to numerous international conferences and research projects.[6]

Research

Petrișor's research spans urban ecology, landscape dynamics, and spatial planning systems. He has developed a theoretical framework integrating ecological and geographical approaches to urban systems, with a focus on diversity, spatial structure, and dynamics.[7][8]

A major theme of his work concerns the transitional dynamics of land cover and land use, including the urbanization of coastlines, transformations of urban green spaces, and long-term land-use drivers in Eastern Europe.[9][10]

He has also contributed quantitative methodologies for urban and environmental research, applying statistical and computational techniques to assess sustainability and quality of life in cities.[11]

Petrișor is known for his work on predatory publishing and academic ethics. In 2017, he published an analysis of evolving strategies used by predatory journals, and in 2021 authored an essay examining plagiarism and ethical misconduct in academia.[12][13]
