Liviu Marșavina It is puniversity professor, doctor of engineering at the Polytechnic University of Timișoara (UPT), and since 2018 he is a Corresponding Member of the Romanian Academy. Prof. Marșavina contributed significantly to the development of the field of mechanics of materials in Romania, and the groups of doctoral students coordinated by him have the most important contributions in the world for the determination of fracture toughness in mixed fracture modes, with publications in the most important journals in the field: Polymer Testing, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Engineering Failure Analysis, Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics. As an international recognition Prof. Marșavina was invited to present two cycles of courses at International Center for Mechanical Sciences – CISM Udine, ITALY namely "Fracture Mechanics of Cellular Solids" in 2009, respectively "Failure and Damage in Cellular Materials" in 2013. Throughout his career, he led numerous national and European research projects, trained numerous students and PhD students, and received awards and distinctions for his research activity:

• Vice-president of the Romanian Fracture Mechanics Association (since 2006);
• Vice-President of the European Structural Integrity Society (since 2018);
• Honorary member of the Italian Group of Fracture (since 2019);
• The research results are materialized in fish 175 items indexed Web of Science (of which more than 100 articles in specialized journals) and several book chapters published in prestigious publishing houses (Springer, Trans Tech). These they have been cited over 1800 times in specialized literature;
