Studies

Technical University of Munich (TUM)

In October 2022, I began my Master's in Informatics at TUM. I worked diligently during the first two semesters to acquire a strong AI and Software Engineering foundation. Since then, my primary focus is Machine Learning, where I took courses such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, participated in a Master's practical course on Machine Learning in Crowd Modeling and Simulations, and collaborated with a start-up called Visonation on an interdisciplinary project to develop an evolutionary algorithm for automatic interior design.
After laying the groundwork for my specialization, I focused on NLP and Legal Tech. I attended a seminar focusing on the EU's AI Act Proposal, where I learned about the legal and ethical implications of AI. Then, I took the course "Legal Data Science and Informatics" to understand some of the most essential legal applications of AI. I am attending a practical course on Legal NLP, where we focus on building a prompt optimization model for legal text classification.

  • My main area of specialization: Machine Learning and Analytics
  • My first support area of specialization: Engineering Software-intensive Systems
  • My second support area of specialization: Formal Methods and their Applications

TUM Future Learning Initiative

In April 2023, I submitted an innovative idea to the TUM Future Learning Initiative on how to make lectures more engaging for students. My proposal was selected as one of the top 3 winners Therefore, my idea will be implemented into practice at the university.

My Proposal:

Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE)

From September 2019 to July 2022, I pursued a degree in Computer Science at the Faculty of Informatics at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). After completing the first two semesters of the B.Sc program, I specialized in Modeling Informatics. I graduated with an impressive average of 4.12 (on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest and 2 being the lowest passing grade). My thesis, which can be found here, focused on developing a web application using object-oriented PHP and design patterns.

Városmajori High School

Between 2015 and 2019, I was a student in the IT department of Városmajori High School. I joined the Student's Union in 2016 and I was allowed to lead it in my senior year (2018/19) as its President . During the four years, I have organized many events such as orientation week for first-year students, freshmen ball, Pupil's week, an arts festival for disabled pupils, and prom. My work for the community was honored by the teachers and the students of the high school with the Honorary Medal for Student Society (Talpra Major!).

Graduation (2019):

  • Advanced level:
    • IT (2018)
    • Math
  • Mid-level:
    • English language
    • IT (2017)
    • Hungarian grammar and literature
    • History
  • Average: 5.0 (5.0 being the best on a scale from 1.0 to 5.0)

Palánta Elementary School

From 2013 to 2015 at Palánta Elementary School, it was great to experience a new community-centered and nature-centered approach to education. This school prepared me for the difficulties in high school and the entrance exam. I won second place in the KisKobak National World Knowledge Competition in 2015 with the support of the school.

Kékvölgy Waldorf Elementary School

Between 2007 and 2013 at Kékvölgy Waldorf Elementary School, I received a community approach that still defines my everyday life. Later, I became the President of the Student Government because of this community-centered worldview.
