Biography:

Zsolt Sándor received his Ph.D. in Physics (Astronomy) from ELTE in 2003. He continued as a postdoctoral researcher of the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA) at the Department of Astronomy (ELTE) until 2007. Between 2007-2011 he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg. He also worked at the Department of Astrophysics (University of Vienna) between 2012-2013. After returning to Hungary, he worked at the Konkoly Observatory of HAS, and since 2015 he has been a faculty member at the Department of Astronomy (ELTE). After successful habilitation he was promoted to associate professor in 2020, and since August 2024 he is the head of the Department of Astronomy.
Zsolt Sándor's research interests include the stability and chaotic behavior of planetary systems, and the formation of planets and planetary systems in the pressure maxima of protoplanetary disks. He leads the research group "Planetary Systems and their Origins". He has supervised several BSc, MSc, and PhD students.
