I pursued my education in biology at the University of Pécs in Hungary and successfully obtained a PhD degree in 2012, specializing in ecology. During my doctoral research, I concentrated on the intricate interplay between urbanization processes, the consequences of human activities, and their impact on wildlife.  

Following my PhD, I ventured into the realm of postdoctoral research, which provided me with the opportunity to collaborate with various international groups, notably in the fields of agroecology and urbanization ecology. My research focus took a new direction, leading me to explore the ecological aspects of zoonoses—diseases that transfer from animals to humans. 

In 2015, I joined the Virology research group, where I have assumed the leadership role in ecological research pertaining to zoonoses, with a particular emphasis on mosquito vectors and vector-borne diseases. Notably, our group actively represents Hungary in numerous international projects within the European Aedes Invasive Mosquito COST Action network, and we are at the forefront of several international collaborative endeavors in the field of invasive mosquito research.
