His primary interest concerns with the physical chemistry and materials science of graphene oxide. He received both his MSc (2002) and PhD (2006) from University of Szeged, where he was mainly involved with the early research on the chemical and nanostructure of graphite oxide. He spent alltogether 3 years as postdoctoral researcher at the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium), and at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). He has then joined the Chemistry Institute in Szeged, where his main teaching roles are related to colloid and interface science. Accordingly, he is active in various fields of research employing aqueous colloidal graphene-based dispersions. He has been awarded the Polányi Prize of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2011.
