Welcome
I’m Dumitru Erhan, a 27-year old Moldovan/semi-Canadian who lives in
the great city of Montréal, Québec, Canada. I bike, I cook, I'm a bit of a
foodie, "I'm a Mac" and I am an aspiring scientist.
Job hunting
I'm finishing my PhD sometime at the end of this year, so I'm looking for a postdoc or
researcher position. If my profile looks interesting: Here is my résumé, my contact info is
