He received his MSc degree in 1999 from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), specializing in the “Optics module” of the engineering physics program. He continued his studies and gained professional experience at the BME Doctoral School of Physical Sciences. In 2003, he successfully defended his PhD dissertation titled “Theoretical characterization of azo-benzene containing photoanisotropic materials with special regard to polarization holography.” This work was part of a collaborative effort between the Department of Atomic Physics at BME and Optilink Ltd., contributing to the development of a holographic memory writing and reading system.

In 2004, he began working at the former MTA KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics (RMKI), the predecessor of the HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics. At the Department of Nuclear Materials Science, one of his main responsibilities has been the development of the FitSuite program for the evaluation of measurement data. He has also been involved in analyzing experimental results and related research activities.

Since 2024, he has been working part-time as a data steward at the HUN-REN Wigner RCP IPNP. In this role, he supports researchers in data management matters, including assisting in the preparation of data management plans for research projects and acting as the institutional administrator for the HUN-REN Data Repository Platform. He also surveys and documents the characteristics of scientific data generated within the institute, along with their storage methods.

“For me, one of the most difficult tasks as a data steward is to sift through the vast amount of information available online in this field and distinguish, even with the best intentions, between what is realistic and useful and what is a fanciful illusion.”
