About me

I studied electrical engineering in Budapest and in Karlsruhe with focus on communication systems, and visual computing in Vienna with focus on mobile augmented reality. During my studies, I was working as a student assistant at the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. I joined the Institute for Pervasive Computing as a research assistant in 2011.
