Tamás Vinkó

I received my MSc and PhD in mathematics and computer science from the University of Szeged, Hungary (under the supervision of Tibor Csendes). In 2003 worked in the group of Arnold Neumaier (University of Vienna, Austria) in the COCONUT FP6 project. Between September 2003 and March 2006 I was a research assistant in the Research Group on Artificial Intelligence of the Hungarian Academy of Science. From March 2006 till March 2008 I was a research fellow of the Advanced Concepts Team at the European Space Agency. In April 2008 I moved to TU Delft, where I started to work on peer-to-peer computing and got involved into the QLectives FP7 FET project as post-doc researcher.

In 2012 I came back to the University of Szeged, Hungary to be an assistant professor at the Department of Computational Optimization. I received my habilitation degree in 2016.

In July 2017 I got promoted to be associate professor.

Since July 2020 I serve as a vice-dean of public affairs at the Faculty of Science and Informatics.
