assistant professor
His research focuses on the development and transformation of the medieval Hungarian settlement network during the Árpádian Age. In his PhD dissertation, based on preventive archaeological excavations along the M0 motorway and incorporating the full range of historical and archaeological data from the Pest Plain, he analyzed the pottery, residential structures, and settlement patterns of villages from the 10th to the 14th centuries.
He places particular emphasis on the impact of key political events of the period—such as the Hungarian Conquest, the foundation of the state, the adoption of Christianity, and the Mongol invasion—on everyday life, material culture, and settlement systems.
Another important area of his research is social engagement in archaeology; since the early 2010s, he has organized community archaeology projects in Hungary. He is the director of the excavation at Nagykövesd (Veľký Kamenec) conducted by Pázmány Péter Catholic University in the Highlands (Felvidék).
