With more than 55 years of professional experience, he is recognized as an esteemed member of his field and continues to provide valuable advice to companies and lawyers as a consultant. Through his numerous contributions, Dr. Hagiopol has achieved significant success in his career.
Dr. Hagiopol's professional success has been supported by his academic foundations. He first earned a master's degree in chemical engineering from the Universitatea Politehnica București, Romania, in 1969, followed by a PhD in macromolecular chemistry from the same institution in 1983.
Beginning a Professional Career
After graduating in 1969, Dr. Hagiopol joined the Petrochim Institute in Ploiești as a chemical engineer, where he directly applied his skills in the field. By 1972, he had transitioned into becoming a scientist at the Petru Poni Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry. In this role, he made significant contributions to research in macromolecular chemistry, which inspired him to pursue further studies. From 1977 to 1998, Dr. Hagiopol was a scientist at the Center for Plastic Materials, ICECHIM.
Applying Expertise in the United States
It was in 1998 that Dr. Hagiopol's career brought him from Romania to the United States, and he became a visiting scientist at Lehigh University. For the next two years, he collaborated with leading researchers and expanded his knowledge of polymer science. In 2000, he joined Georgia-Pacific Chemicals LLC as a scientist, where he contributed to various research initiatives until 2013. He was then promoted to research fellow and worked with the company for another four years in that position. By 2018, he had moved away from research to become an independent consultant.
