Prof. Dr. Péter István Nagy - MATE Research
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.
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.
