Gábor Varga passed away

2023. September 10.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, Dr. Gábor Varga, associate professor of the Department of Physics at the BME Institute of Physics, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 63.
 
Gábor worked at the Department of Physics for about 40 years, taught physics to generations of engineering students, and played an important role in the introduction of computer modeling education. He was a highly valued colleague of ours, having strong friendships with many people at the Institute of Physics.
 
He will be truly missed by his colleagues, who share the pain of Gábor's family.
