Cosmin is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Art History at Masaryk University. He leads a Czech Science Foundation project on the formation of architectural heritage and early art-historical writing in Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Bukovina between 1860 and 1930.

He holds a PhD in Art History from the University of Birmingham, where his research focused on restoration and writings on architectural monuments in 19th- and 20th-century Romania. More broadly, he is interested in how architecture acquires meaning for different individuals, social groups, and political discourses.
