About Me
I am an astrophysicist specializing in cosmology, gravitational-wave astrophysics, and data analysis, with a particular interest in finding the physical model that best describes the history and future evolution of our universe. I am an associate professor at the Institute of Physics and Astronomy of ELTE Eötvös Loránd University and a research fellow with the HUN-REN–ELTE Extragalactic Astrophysics Research Group in Budapest, Hungary. From 2007 to 2025, I was a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), where I led data-analysis projects within the ELTE LSC group. My current research focuses on developing and testing cosmological models and on addressing fundamental questions in physical cosmology.
