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.
