Popescu was appointed as a Lecturer at the University of Bucharest in 1968 where he taught graduate students until 1972. Since 1964, he also held a Research Professorship at the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy, which institute was ruthlessly eliminated by former dictator and president of S.R. Romania, Nicolae Ceaușescu, in 1976 for reasons related to his daughter Zoe Ceaușescu who was 'hired' by the Mathematics Institute in Bucharest two years before.
