Professor Dr. eng. Voichita Bucur, currently adjunct professor at School of Science, RMIT University Melbourne, Australia, received her bachelor in Engineering in 1962 from Polytechnic Institute Brasov, Romania, and her PhD in Mechanics-Ultrasonics in 1984 from the Institut Supérieur des Materiaux, St Ouen, Paris, today known as Institut Supérieur de Mécanique de Paris, France. 

Her fields of research encompass development of non-destructive techniques (vibrational, acoustic, ultrasonic, X- rays) for the assessment of the quality of trees, wood products and wood-based composites, mechanical characterisation of materials with non-destructive techniques, wood science and technology, and mechanical characterisation of wood for musical instruments. She wrote and edited books (7) published by Springer since 2003 and published more than 150 articles in scientific journals.

In 2004 she was awarded with silver medal by Société d’ Encouragement du Progrès, France, for contributions to mechanics, acoustics, wood science, education and service to the society. In 2007 she had the distinguish award at 15th International Symposium on Nondestructive Testing of Wood, Duluth, Minnesota, USA, for contribution to the development of nondestructive techniques for wood and wood-based composites. In 2021 she had the prestigious RWB Stephens Medal awarded by the Institute of Acoustics UK for outstanding contributions to acoustics research or education.
