Overview

Dr. Péter I. Nagy graduated as Agriculturist (Agr. Ing. Dipl.) from Gödöllő Agricultural University in 1993. Since then, he serves the Department of Zoology and Ecology as his first and only place for employment. He obtained a Doctor Universitatis (Dr. Univ.) degree (Zoology) from Gödöllő Agricultural University in 1996 and a PhD degree (Biology) from Szent István University, Gödöllő in 2004. He acted as an associate professor from 2009 and promoted to full professor in 2020. Between 2012-2022 he served as the head of his Department and between 2013-2018, he was the leader of Ecotoxicologist MSc program at Szent István University, Gödöllő.

Dr. András Ittzés is an associate professor at the Department of Applied Statistics of the Institute of Mathematics and Basic Science. His first own research topic was the statistical process control for quality assurance in food industry. Later he applied his expertise in classical and multivariate methods of mathematical statistics in areas of agriculture, horticulture, mental health etc. He was also engaged in effectiveness testing of training programs and has experience in qualitative methods, as well. As a mathematician he teaches mathematical and statistical subjects. He has been the co-worker of several researchers from different fields of agriculture, food science and other areas.

His main field of scientific interest include the application of free-living nematodes as biological indicators for environmental disturbances, land use practices and climate change as well as exploring the possibilities of pesticide-free control of plant-parasitic nematodes and its potential side-effects on beneficial soil organisms. Currently, he studies the impacts of solar parks on soil nematofauna and the effects of herbal extracts and mulch materials on soil nematodes as pests and non-target organisms.

The lifetime cumulated Impact Factor for his works (based on publication year) is over 61, while the number of independent citations to date is: 766, Hirsch Index: 12.
