In 1999-2000, I studied a year in Germany at University Stuttgart, Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, where my focus was on computer networks. This was the point in my life, when I discovered how interesting telecommunication is.

In 2001, I joined Ericsson Traffic Lab and also High Speed Networks Laboratory (HSNLab). During my years as senior undergraduate student I turned to mobile computing, especially to ad hoc networks and pervasive computing. In 2002, I won - with my colleagues - the first prize in my section at the National Scientific Conference for Students with the paper titled "Design and Implementation of the Blown-up System".

I earned my M.Sc. degree in Technical Informatics at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE) on the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Hungary in 2003. My Master's Thesis (titled "Implementation of a Protocol Stack for Personal Area Networks") was a continuation of my research in the field of pervasive computing.

I started my Ph.D. course at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE) on the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics (TMIT), Hungary in September 2003. In parallel, I also continued to work for Ericsson Research. In the first period I was involved in projects on moving networks (IST-OverDRiVE project) and pervasive computing (MAIPAN middleware). Then, I turned to automatic address assignment in ad hoc networks (SAMSON protocol) and to routing in wireless sensor networks.  I was working on these later topics in the frame of the IST-RUNES project, furthermore under the supervision of Attila Vidács at TMIT.

Currently I am a visiting student researcher with a Fulbright grant at Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH, USA). Under the supervision of Andrew Campbell, I am involved in the MetroSense project, which has the focus on people-centric sensing at scale (e.g., campus, town, metropolis).
