After graduating from university, he developed 256- and 512-channel analyzers at the Measurement and Computing Research Institute (KFKI MSZKI) of the Central Research Institute of Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

From 1967 he led the development of the TPA-1001 12-bit transistor digital microcomputer as a research associate. From 1970 he developed the instruction system and construction of the TPA-70 16-bit integrated circuit microcomputer as a research supervisor. From 1977 he was a senior research associate and director's advisor. From 1985 he managed the development of the KFKI 16- and 32-bit microcomputer family as a department head.

From 1992 he collaborated with Brunel University (Uxbridge, UK) on the development of associative processors.

From 1998, as a delegate of the Particle and Nuclear Physics Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (KFKI), he participated in the European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta space exploration program at the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (Lindau and Troisdorf, D) as a delegate of the Particle and Nuclear Physics Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (KFKI). He worked in the testing and verification process of the Philae spacecraft, which was launched in 2004 and landed on the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet in 2014.

After 2004, he focused on studying knowledge base management systems.

He has 42 lectures and scientific articles to his credit. He holds 13 patents.
Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences' Informatics Scientific Committee.
