==Life and career==
Stan graduated in Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, with a Diploma in Aircraft Propulsion Systems. He received the PhD Degree (1984) in Internal Combustion Engines and Habilitation in Automotive Engineering (1989) from the Technical University of Zwickau (currently Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau). 
After 1989, he was for seven years responsible for the development of new engine concepts at the German Motorcycle Company MZ (former DKW).
In 1992 he was nominated as a Professor of Technical Thermodynamics at the West Saxon University of Zwickau (Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau) and then as Director of the Institute of Automotive Engineering. 
He was elected 1994 as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the new-founded Research and Technology Association FTZ Zwickau at the West Saxon University of Zwickau. The FTZ Research & Development activity is focused at present on automotive technology, electronics, motors, electric cars charging systems, electromagnetic compatibility, advanced materials and technologies for car bodies, as well as laser technology.https://journals.indexcopernicus.com/search/journal/issue?issueId=183304&journalId=7867 
Between 1994 and 1996, Stan was Honorary Professor (Professore a Contratto) at the Universita degli Studi di Pisa, Italy, and between 1998 and 1999, Honorary Professor at the Universita delgi Studi di Perugia, Italy.
