Introduction

In 2015, I completed my PhD in economics at the University of Szeged, summa cum laude. My PhD dissertation focused on theoretical and empirical aspects of behavioural economics. I held a senior lecturer, later an associate professor position at the Keleti Faculty of Business and Management at Obuda University in Hungary since 2002. In 2018, I moved to Australia with my family, where I worked at the Department of Economics of the University of Melbourne as a casual lecturer. I was teaching as well as weekly basis face-to-face and online tutorials. In the autumn semester of 2021, I returned to Budapest, where I began to work as an associate professor at the Budapest University of Economics and Business.
My approach to teaching is innovative and collaborative because I enjoy interacting with students. This cooperation keeps me young, fresh and open-minded. As a responsible mentor of TDK projects, I am keen on talent management and collaboration with students. I also have long-lasting research partnerships with several European universities and have received numerous Erasmus and Tempus scholarships.
As an economic psychologist, I have been researching in the fields of behavioural and social economics as well as economic psychology. During my PhD, I participated in research projects funded by the Hungarian Government. I won the Hungarian Government’s National Excellence Award for Young Researchers both in 2017 and 2018. I have a proven track record of several high-profile academic papers and many publications. I participate in CESIBUS and FHERC centres where I lead research about the lockdown generation and collaborate on several other topics and
projects. I have a passion for innovation and collaborating with colleagues on a shared vision of having our work make a difference in this world.
