FARKAS Dávid

Dr. FARKAS Dávid is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). His office is located in Building K, basement level, room 12/7, and he holds weekly consultation hours on Mondays from 1–3 pm.

Educational contributions include teaching core courses in hydrogeology and groundwater engineering:

• Groundwater (BMEEOVVMV63)
• Hydrogeology (BMEEOGMMG62)
• Infrastructural Design Project (BMEEODHAI41)

Research activities concentrate on quantitative hydrogeology, with a special emphasis on karstic groundwater systems, seepage hydraulics, and the safety of flood-protection levees. He couples field investigations in iconic Hungarian cave systems (Buda Castle Cave, Molnár János Cave) with laboratory sandbox experiments and numerical modelling to advance understanding of flow and transport processes in fractured carbonates.

Over the past decade his work has evolved from fundamental hydrogeological mapping toward the design and deployment of automated monitoring networks that integrate classical hydrological instruments with modern sensor technologies. This progression is evident in his most recent publications (2024-2025) that document the establishment of high-resolution cave monitoring systems capable of capturing rapid responses to precipitation events.
