Romanian professor
Between 1914 and 1919 Răduleţ followed German School of Sighisoara and the 1919 High School “Negru Vodă” of Făgăraş. Eminent student, he participated in contests "Romanian Youth" and always get first prize. Attracted by Greek language and philosophy, he wanted to study human subjects. During vacation after class VII, he took a visit to the Polytechnic School of Timişoara that will change future plans. During last class of school he prepared, by individual efforts, also materials of "real section" so that he supported baccalaureate in 1923 for this section and then exam for admission to the Polytechnic School of Timişoara.
During university studies, his special intellectual capacities enabled not only to become student with the highest average note (19.70 scale 1-20), but also to prepare for printing more courses, based on his notes, moreover, he will establish a scientific student circle where, among others, he will present lectures on the subjects of modern theories of physics and other technical disciplines.
In 1927, he was engaged as assistant at the Department of Electrical Engineering and in 1928 obtained a scholarship of the Polytechnic School of Federal University in Zurich where, under Professor Karl Kuhlman supervision, he developed a thesis about the iron coreless induction furnace. In parallel with development activities related to the thesis, he was involved in numerous lectures and seminars (particularly on axiomatic mathematics and physics), acquainting in this way many leading world scientists, including Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Erwin Schrödinger, Wofgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg, Richard von Mises, etc.
After the doctorate graduation, he was proposed to remain a teacher at Zurich, but he declined the offer and returned home. Since 1931 he worked as a lecturer, but is also as deputy director of the Polytechnic. In this last position, he had a major contribution to the establishment of operating rules for hostel and canteen, similar to those of Switzerland. At the same time he paid attention to developing and equipping the library with important international treaties and high interest magazines, for its trying to obtain complete series.
He taught many subjects: Transmission of electricity and low voltage technique, Electricity plant, Fundamentals of electronics, Electrical measuring instruments, Introduction to atomic and nuclear physics, Electrical machines. In autumn 1940, after the sudden death of Professor John Maghieru, he was assigned to teach Physics. Students who have pursued this course content remained highly excited by addressing news, by logic and exposure beauty.
In 1951 he was appointed professor at the Bucharest Polytechnic Institute (department of electrical engineering bases, where he will operate until 1974, when retiring) and at the Railway Institute. As a result of difficult commuting, in the fall of 1952 he gave up the position of Timişoara.
In 1955 he was received in Romanian Academy, where he will be assigned with different management functions: between 1956 and 1968 he was director of the Institute of Energy, between 1963 and 1966 Chairman of the Technical Sciences Section, between 1965 and 1974 president of the Academy and vice president of National Council of Science and Technology.
Internationally, he joined the Saxon Academy of Leipzig (1966) and the Latin Academy of Paris (1971). Between 1961 and 1984 he became a member of the management team of the International Electro technical Committee, from 1961-1964 vice president and from 1964-1967 president of this organization. Also in CEI, between 1970 and 1984 he was chairman of Study Committee no. 1, Terminology.
Scientific work of Professor Remus Răduleţ includes over 200 works including more than 30 treaties. As noted Acad. Thomas Dordea (Monograph of Timişoara Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University Publishing Horizons, pag.39) “this work, because diversity is hard to systematic”. It can still be drawn two guidelines:
- Scientific papers on the quantities theory and physical and technical sciences laws, research in electromagnetism, electrical energy generation with reference to increasing energy efficiency in classic power plants, direct production of electricity, electromagnetism related research;
- Works of philosophy and science methodology, where he addressed issues of logic, methodology and classification of scientific research and of principle of causality use for the detection of new physical systems.
He also provided a tremendous amount of work to draft technical Lexicon, whose first edition was written between 1949-1956 and included seven volumes; the second edition written between 1957-1968 comprised 19 volumes and 11,000 terms. We recognize in this opera a return to his high school passion for the humanities but also organizational capacity of mature engineer who managed to polarize around him a group of renowned scientists including, for example, Nenitescu, Hulubei , Moisil, Ţiţeica and Vlădea.
