Pázmány ITK - international

🎓 A Quantum Engineering degree with honors, two engineering qualifications, and new ambitious dreams.

Martin Trancsik, a graduate of Pázmány ITK’s Quantum Engineering MSc program, recently shared the story of his inspiring professional journey in a Hungarian-language interview.

Originally from Csantavér, Martin now holds two engineering degrees: one in mechanical engineering and one in quantum engineering, the latter completed with honors at Pázmány ITK. He spoke about his path toward quantum technology, the opportunities offered by this rapidly developing field, and his next major goal: pursuing his childhood dream of becoming an aircraft pilot.

His story is a strong example of how solid engineering foundations, curiosity, and perseverance can open new professional horizons.

🧬 What kind of knowledge can our Postgraduate Specialist Training in Biodata Analysis provide? Hear from those who have already completed the program!

"The program provided me with strong professional foundations that I have continued to build on in both research and innovation. I have since applied the knowledge I gained in numerous research projects, including transcriptomic and phylogenetic analyses, large-scale biological data processing, biostatistical analyses, and the development of deep learning models."

🔍 Computer vision researchers and students met in Timișoara

András Horváth, lecturer and researcher at Pázmány ITK, participated in the international summer school organized by the West University of Timișoara.

The event has a long tradition in the fields of computer vision, image processing, and image analysis, bringing together students and lecturers from Central and Eastern Europe.

During the ten-day program, participants attended professional lectures, worked on group projects with faculty mentoring, and took part in cultural activities and networking opportunities. 🌍

The summer school was a valuable opportunity to strengthen international professional connections and gain insight into current research directions in computer vision.

🧠🌍 Congratulations to our colleague, Prof. Balázs Rózsa, co-author of a new paper published in the prestigious journal Science!

The study provides fascinating new insights into how the dendrites of hippocampal neurons process information, helping us better understand the neural mechanisms underlying memory, navigation, and behaviour.
