Gábor Horváth

Since completing his studies at the Technical University, he has been a member of the Department of Measurement Technology and Information Systems of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and its legal predecessor. His nearly fifty years of teaching and research work have covered many professionally challenging areas.

Since the late 1970s, he has been one of the main designers of the Microprocessor Application Technology System developed for Medicor, for which he received a State Award in 1985. Since the early 1980s, his research has been aimed at answering many exciting questions in digital signal processing, neural networks and medical image processing, mostly in the framework of domestic and international collaborations. In 2016, he and his research team won the Industrial Innovation Award for the development of a medical diagnostic device operating on the principle of digital tomosynthesis.

As part of his diverse teaching activities, he developed a series of subjects, primarily in the areas of digital systems, intelligent systems and medical image processing. He assisted more than a hundred students in the preparation of their theses and diploma projects as a consultant. He supervised the research work of more than ten doctoral students. He assisted in the preparation of several national and faculty first-prize Scientific Student Conference (TDK) papers as a consultant, for which he received the Master Teacher Gold Medal in 2003.

He was an active participant in international scientific life: He performed teaching and research tasks at several foreign universities, participated in the organization and hosting of numerous international conferences, and regularly reviewed journal and conference articles.

He was awarded the Széchenyi Professorial Scholarship for the period 1997-2000 and the Széchenyi István Scholarship for the period 2002-2005. In 2012, he received the Memorial Plaque for Hungarian Higher Education.

Between 1989 and 2008, he was the deputy head of the Department of Measurement Engineering and Information Systems (MIT), and between 2008 and 2011, he was the head of the department. He was an associate professor from 1990 and a full professor from 2003. During his more than two decades of activity in the management of the Department, he contributed with exemplary consistency and effectiveness to the development of the Department's main professional guidelines, its professional and scientific development, its balanced management, and the development of the department's infrastructure.

His research areas: neural and learning systems, hybrid intelligent systems, digital signal processing.

Awards: Master Teacher Gold Medal (National Academy of Sciences, 2003): Memorial Plaque for Hungarian Higher Education (BME, 2012); Innovation Award (shared, BME. 2016).
