Petru Bogdan (29 January 1873 – 28 March 1944) was a Romanian chemist, educator, and politician. In 1926, he was elected a titular member of the Romanian Academy.[1]
He was born in Cozmești, Iași County, the son of Vasile Bogdan (the mayor of the village) and Ana, née Timuș; his father died four years laters, during the Romanian War of Independence of 1877.
Bogdan was a professor at the University of Iași.[2] He wrote the first treatise on physical chemistry in the Romanian language. In 1923, one of his students, Theodor V. Ionescu, who worked in plasma physics, was the first to defend a PhD thesis in physics at the University of Iași.
Bogdan was a member of the National Peasants' Party. He served as Mayor of Iași from January 1930 to March 1934.
