Biography
George graduated from high school Ciucu "Andrei Saguna" in Brasov and in 1946 entered as a student at the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Science, Mathematics Department, Faculty of Mathematics and becomes Physics in 1948. In 1950 he was appointed assistant at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics in Bucharest, in 1956 and was promoted lecturer in 1958 became a lecturer. In 1957 he defended his PhD entitled "ergodic properties of chains with complete connections."

In 1951 he was appointed secretary to the department of mathematics at the Academy, in 1959 became scientific secretary and in 1962 was promoted to deputy scientific secretary, a post in which he worked until 1964.
