Biography:
In 1994, I joined the Department of Animal Breeding under the leadership of Professor Imre Bodó. Here I was gradually involved in teaching, while at the same time I continued to collaborate with national and foreign experts in my research.
Currently, as an Associate Professor, I am heading the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics and I am involved in the higher education and training of the next generation of professionals.
Qualifications:
Diploma, University of Agricultural Sciences, Gödöllő, (1988)
Doctorate (Dr. agr. univ.), University of Agricultural Sciences, Gödöllő, 1992 (1991)
“Linear models in animal breeding” Lecturer: L.R. Schaeffer, University of Guelph, Prague, August 1995.
“The design and economics of animal breeding strategies” Lecturer: J.P. Gibson, University of Guelph, Prague, September 1995.
Austria (1994): “Prüfungen der Lebensleistung und Nutzungsdauer beim Rind”, Universität für Bodenkultur, Wien, ÖAD (a three-month scholarship). The greatest benefit of the study trip was the high quality of my Ph.D. thesis. The life science research area covered here continues to maintain a collaboration, with several joint international appearances.
Israel (1997): “Intensive Dairy Cattle and Sheep Production”, Shefayim, CINADCO (a five-week scholarship). The study tour gave an insight into Israeli cattle and sheep breeding, which in many ways is the world leader in dairy production. The impressive results were very useful for me professionally and I will use the experience gained here in my daily teaching and in the implementation of my research. Since then, I have worked with several Israeli thesis students in this field.
Scientific degree:
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), University of Agricultural Sciences, Gödöllő, 1997 (1995)
Main research areas:
I evaluated mainly the performance (life performance) of dairy and beef cattle, supplemented by online recording of indicators and artificial modification of the environment, and then the genetic diversity of endangered, special situation herds.
In collaboration with other departments of the University, I have also been involved in the study of reproductive biology indicators of farm animals, their biometric processing, and the estimation of their genetic parameters.
In addition, with my thesis students, I study many particular areas of animal production.
