Attila Fülöp

Dr. Attila Fülöp (University of Pécs, Pollack Mihály Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology) serves as Associate Professor at the Department of Strength of Materials and Structural Engineering. With dual PhD degrees in structural engineering from Budapest University of Technology and Economics (2003) and University of Pécs (2011), he specializes in steel structure reliability assessment and Eurocode implementation.

• BSc in Civil Engineering (Budapest University of Technology, 1998)
• PhD in Civil Engineering (BME, 2003)
• PhD in Structural Engineering (University of Pécs, 2011)

His research focuses on structural simulation, probabilistic design methods, and steel structure reliability assessment, particularly through Monte Carlo simulation techniques. He has contributed to Eurocode standardization efforts and developed simulation-based reliability assessment (SBRA) methods for steel structures.

Key contributions include:

• Co-authoring chapters in "Probabilistic Assessment of Structures using Monte Carlo Simulation" (2001)
• Collaborating on Eurocode implementation guides
• Leading structural experiments on steel joints and composite elements

Scientific recognitions:

• 2005 Recognition Diploma for Outstanding Intellectual Achievement
• Member of Hungarian Steel Structures Association
• Organized international SDSS 2002 conference sessions

With extensive international experience including study visits at Technical University of Lisbon (1999), Heriot-Watt University (2001), and collaborations with Prof. Pavel Marek (Leonardo program), he has developed innovative structural analysis approaches while maintaining active involvement in both academic and practical engineering fields.
