Academic qualifications

  • Master’s Degree in chemical engineerig, Budapest Unversity of Technology. 1957
  • Dr. Techn., Budapest University of Technology, 1963, Advisor: Professor G. Varsányi
  • Candidate of Sciences in chemistry, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 1969
  • Doctor of Science, Hungarian Academy of Science, 1992
  • Dr. Habil, Budapest University of Technology, 1994

Employment

  • From 1957 Department of Physical Chemistry, Budapest University of Technology, since 2007 the name of the department changed to Department of Physical Chemistry and Material Science

Research experience

  • Experiment of vibrational spectroscopic methods: infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Application of quantum chemical methods of different level for supporting the assignment of vibrational spectra, considering also different models for the considering of the chemical environment of the molecule.
  • Preparation of computer programs for the elaboration of the quantum chemical results for the purpose of the vibrational spectrocopy and the normal coordinate analysis.
  • Application of the quantum chemistry for the vibrational spectroscopic study of compounds, compound groups, modelling of adsorption. The investigated compounds are e.g. like perspective medicaments, ingredients, optical materials, biologically active compounds, contact materials applied in flotation.
