About

Alina Georgiana Manta is a forward-thinking researcher whose work sits at the intersection of horticultural science, artificial intelligence, and educational innovation. Her most cited paper, “Shaping the Future of Horticulture: Innovative Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotic Automation Through a Bibliometric Lens” (2025, 12 citations), offers a comprehensive bibliometric and content analysis of the Web of Science Core Collection. This study maps the evolution of horticultural research, revealing a strong orientation toward technological innovation and sustainability—a critical contribution for guiding future agri-tech developments. Manta also demonstrates a deep commitment to STEM education, as evidenced by her paper “Technical Contests as an Effective Approach to Stimulate Youth in STEM Education” (2018, 2 citations). In this work, she highlights the role of hands-on contests organized by the Mechatronics and Robotics Department at the University of Craiova in attracting high school graduates to engineering fields. By bridging advanced agricultural technologies with youth engagement strategies, Manta’s research not only advances academic knowledge but also cultivates the next generation of innovators. Her work stands as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary thinking in solving real-world challenges.
