András Telcs

He started working at the Computer Science and Automation Research Institute (SZTAKI) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He was involved in several IT fields from the very beginning of his career. Thus, while he was working on an IBM 360 at SZTAKI (in Előd Kunth's department), he also worked on the R40 computer at KFKI in collaboration with János Szlankó and Ferenc Telbisz.

He then worked as an employed mathematician in the Science Metrics Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Library, and later became the head of the CD-ROM Literature Service Group there. He was the organizer of the conference OnDisc 90, First Hungarian Ondisc Meeting, held in 1990.

He then worked at the Computer Applications Company (Számalk), and then – after a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in Melbourne – he began teaching at its subsidiary, the International Business School (IBS). Between 1997 and 2000, he was the developer and head of the library and IT system at IBS.

After 2000, he taught at the Central European University (CEU) Business School and then at the Department of Computer Science and Information Theory at the Budapest University of Technology (BME). He was the founding head of the Department of Quantitative Methods at the University of Veszprém (VE); he also teaches at the successor institution, the University of Pannonia (PE). At the Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics at BME, he was also involved in the work of the ERICSSON High Speed Network Laboratory.

Since 2015, he has been conducting applied mathematical research on brain research topics as a scientific advisor and then head of department at the Wigner Research Center for Physics. Since 2018, he has been organizing the annual Academy-Industry Matching Event international workshop in Budapest under the auspices of the High-Energy Physics Technology Transfer Network – in the areas of grid, cloud computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
