  Abstract:  Radu Alexandru Dimitrescu was born on November 27th, 1926. Although originary from Macedonia, by the second part of the 19th century the family established in Ploieşti in south Romania. Afterwards, the family moved to Bucharest, where Radu enrolled at the primary school “Silvestru”. In 1944, he entered the prestigious “Spiru Haret” High school where each year he obtained the overall top results. After graduation, Radu Dimitrescu enrolled as student of the Faculty of Mines and Metallurgy of the Polytechnic University in Bucharest, which he graduated in 1949 as a geologist engineer. His remarkable results recommended him for an academic career: he was appointed as university assistant at the Oil and Gas Institute (1950–1954), and then at the Mining Institute (1954–1956). For a long time (between 1948 and 1966) he worked solely for the Geological Survey of Romania, where he defined his main scientific interests: magmatic and metamorphic petrographypetrology, geotectonics, and ore deposits-metallogeny. At only 30, remarkably early for those times, Radu Dimitrescu obtained the title of PhD in geology (1957) followed by that of Docent (1969).
