His research areas include formal languages, multi-agent systems, bio-computing (molecular computing, membrane computing), and natural language processing. He has published over 230 papers.

He is a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences' Informatics and Computer Science Committee, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences' Mathematics Doctoral Committee, and the Hungarian National Academy of Sciences. He is also a member of the Association Computability in Europe (ACiE) and the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).
