After his retirement, between 2006 and 2010, he was a scientific advisor and CAD instructor at the Institute of Mechanical and Process Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Szeged (SZTE).

He carries out a wide range of research activities. The most significant ones are: TELMOD 48-bit target computer in 1965-1966, cerebellar neural network (SOTE) at Semmelweis University of Medicine, modeling of dog behavior commissioned by the Institute of Psychology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. His research at SZTAKI: designing the first Hungarian interactive graphic display (GD) and the related software system, and preparing the GD'71/GD'80 mechanical CAD/CAM applications, which also resulted in a patent. In 1976-77, he participated in the first French CAD mechanical engineering project. Between 1979 and 1985, he was the topic manager for the creation of the first Hungarian mechanical CAD/CAM industrial and educational sample system. His later topics include CAD/CIM concurrent design, geometric aspects of computer graphics, multi-agent systems, robotics.
