Since 2010 Works in the field of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Designed a stand-aloneelectrochemical measurement and analysis system that is capable of measuring theimpedance of electrochemical systems and of fitting the spectra based on flexibly de-fined physico-chemical model functions.

Since 2011 Leads a joint development project (together with Prof. Attila Tihanyi) aimed at instru-mental innovations in electrochemistry (a cooperation of Eotvos Lorand Universityand Pazmany Peter Catholic University). In 2013, this project was supported by theEuropean Union and the State of Hungary and co-financed by the European SocialFund (in the framework of TAMOP-4.2.4.A/2–11/1–2012–0001 ’National ExcellenceProgramme’).

2010–present Gives a special class (Computer-controlled instrumentation in chemistry) at Eotvos LorandUniversity.

2011–present Gives physical chemistry seminars for students in chemistry.

2012–present Acts as thesis advisor for students in chemistry (Eotvos Lorand University) and infor-mation science and technology (Pazmany Peter Catholic University).

2009–2013 Acts as secretary junior to the Scientific Students’ Associations at the Institute of Chem-istry, Eotvos Lorand University.
