Biography:

Zsolt Kovács is associate professor at the Dept. of Materials Physics, ELTE. His main scientific research areas are amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys and biomaterials, plastic instabilities, depth sensing indentation and severe plastic deformation. Formerly, he was participant in several OTKA/NKFI and Tét grants and he was awarded different postdoctoral fellowships (OTKA, Magyary and Bolyai). Presently, he supervises doctoral works in the topics of biomaterials (dental enamel) and plastic deformation of amorphous alloys. His recent teaching portfolio consists of lectures on materials physics and mechanical behavior of solid materials for M.Sc./Ph.D. students.
