Miklós Telek

After graduating from university, he worked on computer design issues of telecommunications networks at the Hungarian Postal Experimental Institute (PKI).

Since 1990, he has continued his research as a member of the BME Department of Network Systems and Services. He obtained his PhD degree in 1994. Since 1997, he has been the head of the department's stochastic modeling laboratory. Since 2005, he has been a professor at the department. Since 2012, he has been the head of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH)-BME Informatics Systems Research Group.

His scientific work is related to the traffic modeling challenges of the last 30 years of telecommunications development. He worked on several fundamental stochastic modeling tasks of the transition from circuit-switched to packet-switched telecommunications; such as the appropriate mathematical description of telecommunications traffic and the sizing of networks based on it.

His co-authored textbook, describing modern methods of stochastic modeling, was published in 2012, and its second expanded edition was published by Springer in 2019.

In addition to theoretical results, his procedures for traffic modeling and dimensioning, developed in cooperation with the main players of the domestic telecommunications industry (Matáv/Magyar Telekom, Ericsson, Nokia), have been included in international standards, network planning procedures and the products of industrial partners. Some of his developed procedures have received patent protection under the care of Nokia and Ericsson.

His outstanding professional achievement (published jointly with colleagues) is the numerical procedure developed for the inverse transformation of Laplace transformed functions.
