Edit Szilágyi is a member of the ARP Project Steering Board, where she represents the researchers’ side.

She graduated from the Kossuth Lajos University of Debrecen in 1987 with a degree in physics. Since then, besides study trips abroad, she has been working at the Department of Materials Science by Nuclear Methods (and its predecessors) of the Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics of the HUN-REN Wigner FK. She received her MTA doctorate title in 2011. Her current position is Head of Department and Scientific Advisor. She specializes in ion-matter interaction, both in the modification of ion beams and in ion beam analytical measurements. Supported by her colleagues, she uses the large-scale facilities of the HUN-REN Wigner FK, the Van de Graaff accelerator and the heavy ion cascade generator for her research. In her work, it is particularly important that raw and processed experimental data are available, retrievable and identifiable. For the last ten years, she has been responsible for this as the Head of the accelerator complex . She has participated in the call for proposals for research data archiving pilot projects, announced by the Hungarian Research Data Alliance and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Library and Information Centre, gaining valuable experience in modern data management.
