Intro
I'm a PhD student in Computer Science from Szeged, currently finishing
my dissertation on various data mining methods using graphs. My research
primarily focuses on community detection and hierarchical clustering
algorithms. I would like to put my problem solving and quick learning
skills to use in a new, challenging environment. While doing my
research, I have also kept up with the latest technologies, and I
acquired a wide knowledge of various industry standard tools.
