Biography:

Tamás Kovács received his PhD degree from Eötvös Loránd University in 2009. Afterward, he was a visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, then spent postdoctoral years at the Institute of Astronomy in Budapest. In 2014-2015 he was a Fulbright Scholar at Princeton University. From 2016 he was a staff member of the Department of Theoretical Physics at ELTE, and from 2024 he will be an assistant professor at the Department of Atomic Physics. In 2019 he was awarded a Research Fellowship at the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute. His research interests include dynamical astronomy, the relationship between galaxy morphology and dynamics, and dynamics of nonlinear systems. He is a member of the HUN-REN-ELTE Extragalactic Astrophysics Research Group and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Galaxy Science Collaboration.
