János Vida

Between 1985 and 1989, he was a research assistant at the Computer Engineering and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (SZTAKI) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Computer Design. From 1985 to 1991, he participated in the development of a software for geometric purposes.
From 1990 to 1992, he was involved in software development research in the field of geometric modeling as a scientific associate at the Geometric Modeling Research Laboratory.

Between 1992 and 1994, he was a researcher at the Department of Technical Informatics and Automation of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Veszprém (VE). Between 1995 and 1998, he taught geometric modeling at the Department of Technical Informatics of the Department of Image Processing and Neural Computing - from 1996 as an associate professor.
Between 1993 and 1999, he was the author of components for a commercial geometric modeler kernel.

In 1994, he defended his PhD thesis entitled “Incorporation of Roundings into a Body Modeling System.” In 1995, he also obtained his PhD degree from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (VIK) of the Budapest University of Technology (BME).

From 1998 to 2002, he worked as an associate professor at ELTE University in the Department of General Computer Science of the Faculty of Natural Sciences (TTK). From 2003, he taught in the Department of Algorithms and Their Applications of the Faculty of Informatics (IK) in the Department of Program Design Mathematics, and was also the coordinator of the graphics track. He also did successful work as a doctoral supervisor.
Taught subjects: Fundamentals of geometric modeling; Methods of geometric modeling; Surface and solid modeling; Three-dimensional design; CAD/CAM systems; Programming (C++); Current problems in geometric modeling.

His research areas: geometric modeling, solid modeling and their applications; rounded surfaces, some issues of surface reconstruction, their technical and graphic applications.
