Excerpt: Nicolae Popescu (22 September 1937 - 29 July 2010) was a Romanian mathematician and Emeritus Professor. Popescu was elected a Member of the Romanian Academy in 1992. He is best known for his contributions to Algebra and the theory of Abelian categories. Since 1964 and until 2007 he collaborated on the characterization of abelian categories with the well-known French mathematician Pierre Gabriel. His areas of expertise were: Category theory, abelian categories with Applications to Rings and Modules, Adjoint Functors and limits/colimits, Theory of Rings, Fields and Polynomials, and Valuation Theory; he also has interests and published in the following areas: Algebraic Topology, Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Algebra, K-Theory, Class-Field theory, and Algebraic Function Theory.
