András Bóka

In 1953, he began his career as a research and development engineer at the Telecommunications Research Institute, developing pulse technology and microwave circuits.

From 1956 to 1964, he was a development engineer, head of the development department, and then acting deputy director at the Cybernetics Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (KKCS). His task was to manage and develop the construction of the first domestic vacuum tube computer. Between 1964 and 1976, he was employed by the Institute of Electrical Automation as head of the development department. He dealt with the control and implementation of industrial processes. He created reliable, long-lasting devices with magnetic logic circuits.

From 1976 to 1979, he designed the Budapest regional data bank system as head of development at the Budapest Metropolitan Transport Information Center (Fővinform).

From 1979, he was a technical scientific attaché in Paris.

In the field of technical sciences, his most important task was the development of Hungarian-French bilateral scientific relations. In 1984-1985, he participated as a technical consultant at the Metro Investment and Transport Development Company in the implementation of the automation of metro line 3.

From 1985 to 1995, he worked as a design engineer for MATRA TRANSPORT in France. His duties included computer simulation of driverless, automatically operating metros and sizing of on-board and installed automation.

He has given lectures on mathematical logic and combinatorics at engineering training courses, and on magnetic logic circuits at domestic and foreign conferences.

He has seven accepted inventions in the field of magnetic logic circuits. These have enabled the development of new products that have been put into mass production.
