Monika Varga PhD, agricultural engineer, senior researcher. Her multidisciplinary experience is based on modelling of biosystems, ecosystems, complex agri-food and agro-environmental processes. Her research focuses on the development of a general modelling framework (Programmable Process Structures). The recent practical applications cover the utilization of dynamic coupling models for the analysis, planning and operation of complex (advantageously circular) technological, agricultural, aquacultural and environmental systems. In her theoretical work she studies how nature-embedded cooperative principles can be utilized to increase the sustainability of human-built world. She was a Fulbright researcher at the Ohio State University, and she is a Bolyai Scholar of Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
