Within mathematics my main fields are
discrete mathematics, graph theory and theory of computation.
I am mostly interested in how these fields interact
with other fields of theoretical and applied mathematics, for example in computer science.
I like to teach, because routines such as preparation bring structure to life
and because it provides a lot of joy, especially when I am able to inspire talented students.
Research comes naturally to true mathematicians,
since we always have problems on our minds we are looking to solve.
I spent considerable time in the USA, 14 years overall.
I always knew teaching and research would be the main themes of my life,
but there were unforeseeable events as well,
for example spending 7 years at the theoretical mathematics unit of the MS Research Center.
I cannot complain, because I feel I received recognition nationally and internationally as well.
The Wolf Prize and the 2010 Kyoto Prize are my most important international awards,
and I was awarded the Bólyai Grand Prize and the Széchenyi Grand Prize in Hungary.
I received an excellent mathematical education at ELTE,
in terms of curriculum, an introduction to research and overall work ethic as well.
I listened to the lectures of Vera Sós, Tibor Gallai
and Pál Erdõs, to whom all Hungarian mathematicians are equally thankful.
I am very pleased to teach the best talents here, at ELTE the researchers of the future.
Love of science.
Diligence.
Respect for the work of others.
I studied at ELTE, of course.
ELTE is worth it.
ELTE and its talents were sponsored by OTP.
