Pursued by the authorities, he sought refuge in Wallachia. By 1850, he was back in Transylvania, where he taught mathematics at Brașov's Greek Orthodox High School. He remained there until 1858, a period during which he designed the new school building. Additionally, he was the architect for the first paper factory in Zărnești. In 1858, he was invited to Iași, the capital of Moldavia, in order to teach drawing and geometry to the upper classes of Academia Mihăileană. Emilian remained there for two years, until the founding of the University of Iași. Additionally, he taught at the military officers' school and the technical school of arts and professions. At the new university, he was named full professor of descriptive geometry and linear perspective, remaining from October 1860 to October 1892, when he had to retire.
