Gergely Zaránd elected to the Academy
2022. May 06.
Gergely Zaránd, head of the BME Institute of Physics, has been elected as a regular member to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences on May 3. Congratulations!
From the booklet issued by the Academy (pdf, in Hungarian):
"Gergely Zaránd was born in Budapest in1969. He has been the corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences since 2016. He is a full professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), doing research in condensed-matter theory, studying strongly correlated quantum systems using the tools of quantum field theory and statistical physics.
He achieved seminal results in the areas of mesoscopic electronic systems, magnetic materials, and ultracold atoms. Since becoming a corresponding member, he has published more than 30 research papers, and the number of citations to his publications raised from 1800 to above 3000.
Highlights among his most recent results include the interpretation of electronic crystals (Wigner crystals), and the discoveries of extended Shiba states in superconductors, and topologically protected spin states in quantum dots. These results have yielded publications in Science and Nature. He has established an internationally recognised research unit in the Intitute of Physics of BME."
Gergely Zaránd was nominated to the membership of the Academy by Péter Domokos, András Jánossy, Katalin Kamarás, János Kertész, György Mihály, Jenő Sólyom.

APS Outstanding Referee: Ádám Gali
2022. March 02.
Ádám Gali, part-time professor of our Department of Atomic Physics, receives the APS Outstanding Referee honor from the American Physical Society. Ádám works as a scientific advisor at the Wigner Research Centre for Physics, and holds a part-time professor position at BME.
Instituted in 2008, the Outstanding Referee program expresses appreciation for the essential work that anonymous peer reviewers do for APS's journals. Each year a small percentage of the 82,000 active referees are selected and honored as Outstanding Referees. Selection is based on the number, quality, and timeliness of referee reports as collected in APS' database over the last 30 years.
Congratulations, Ádám!
