Biography

Gheorghiu was born in Roman, Romania, the son of Victor and Aurora Gheorghiu (born Vintilă). Victor Gheorghiu was an officer in the Romanian army who died in 1941 during the invasion of the Soviet Union in Odessa.

Cristache Gheorghiu attended the Lyceum Roman Voda, in Roman. He graduated from Gheorghe Asachi Technical University in 1959, with a master's degree in engineering. Gheorghiu worked as a mechanical engineer in Romanian enterprises and as a master designer in the County Institute of Design “Prahova”.In 1970, Gheorghiu switched his profession to computer science, as a result of attending the courses organised by C.I.I. France, from which Romania has bought the license for producing electronic computers.

Gheorghiu has published numerous scientific research articles. The main theme of his researches was "Territorial Information System". As recognition of his contribution, his name is mentioned in "The history of Science in Romania", the chapter "Cybernetics", and two of his scientific works has been selected in "Study of the Romanian Contribution in the Development of Cybernetics", (Publishing House of the Romanian Academy, 1981). He was one of the pioneers of Romanian computer science. He is the creator of the "Principle of informational remanence", based on which he built a set of computer programs for the analysis of social-economic relations between localities and the simulation of the future evolution of such networks.

Gheorghiu has had numerous personal exhibitions and there are his paintings in many private collections or decorating public spaces. In literature he is known particularly as an essayist, his books – novels, travel notes or essays as it – always having deeper connotations than the apparent form the wording. He created and maintained the electronic publication "ADVERSA RES – a magazine of cultural confluences", where he used to comment the main cultural events from Brasov, where he moved in 1972. After retirement, he settled in Athens, Greece.
