2017 - present: Lecturer in Applied Mathematics, Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK
2014–2017: VISTA Postdoctoral Research Fellow of The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway;
2012– 2014: Postdoctoral Research Fellow of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Budapest, Hungary;
2012: Ph.D. in Physics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary;
2004: M.Sc. in Engineering Physics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary.

My main research field is theoretical and computational materials science, including:

Mean-field treatment of equilibrium crystal-liquid interfaces and the dynamics of complex solidification morphologies;
Analytic description of amorphous solids in the framework of classical density functional theories.
The fundamental understanding of the glass formation and the amorphous precursor-mediated crystal nucleation;
Developing a numerically efficient continuum theory describing pattern formation phenomena in multicomponent (complex) liquids;
Re-classification and extension of traditional hydrodynamic models: alternative interpretation of compressible and incompressible fluid flows, derivation of unified dynamic equations.
Finding the bridge between classical field theories and discrete microscopic models;
Implementing numerical algorithms for solving PDEs on massively parallel HPC devices (GPU programming).
