Research
Seceleanu graduated from the University of Bucharest, and in 2005 obtained a master's degree in mathematics from the Bucharest Superior Normal School with a focus on algebra, geometry, and topology.[1] She completed a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in 2011, supervised by Phillip Griffith and Hal Schenck.[2]
Seceleanu started working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2011, where in 2015 she became an assistant professor, and in 2021 an associate professor.[3] She is on the editorial board of the Journal of Commutative Algebra.[4]
Seceleanu's research within the field of commutative algebra concerns both theoretical and computational problems.[5] She has an interest in algebraic geometry, in particular in how it can be studied via methods from homological algebra.[1] She also works on computational algebra, and has contributed to Macaulay2.[5]
