Abstract :John F. Nash Jr.`s Embedding Theorem, published originally in 1956, states that every Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded into some Euclidean space. This fundamental result is a very beautiful and extremely important result in differential geometry, and especially in the geometry of submanifolds. One of the researchers with outstanding contributions in the geometry of submanifolds, as well as in other areas of differential geometry, including its connections with physics, with a long creative career spanning from his first research paper in 1971 to his last in 2016, was Aurel Bejancu. In this biographical note we present his life and we remind with great respect his contributions.
