About the Author
I hold a MSc in Math and a PhD in Math & Astronomy from Romania, where I was an research assistant with The Astronomical Institute in Bucharest (1991-1997). In 1997 I immigrated to Canada where I started as a computer programmer, also I was able to afford a computer (to continue working on Maps :-) In 2000 I returned to astronomy, becoming a PhD student in Astrophysics at York University, Toronto. Remaining an amateur astronomer since 15, I continued to cooperate with the amateurs from Romania (SARM), Canada (RASC) and worldwide. I have meet my wife in an astronomy camp 10 years ago, and since then she quietly understood my passion for stars (VERY important!), also seeing me again at work on Maps :-)
I dedicate Celestial Maps to the memory of Carl Sagan, the first science man who inspired me
through his famous "Cosmos" the happiness to discover the sky and the advancement in astronomy!
