Károly Bezdek

Károly Bezdek is a Professor in the Department of Geometry at the Faculty of Science, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest, Hungary, with continuous academic service since 2006. He also maintains an affiliation with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pannonia (PE). His extensive research portfolio spans discrete and combinatorial geometry with particular focus on sphere packings, Minkowski spaces, and convex geometry problems.

Bezdek's research interests concentrate on Discrete Geometry, Combinatorial Geometry, Convex Geometry, and Sphere Packings. His work explores fundamental problems in metric geometry, including optimal configurations of spheres, illumination problems, contact numbers, and geometric inequalities. Recent research has focused on separable packings, intrinsic volumes of ball intersections, and extremal distributions in various geometric spaces. His investigations often bridge theoretical geometry with computational approaches, examining problems in both Euclidean and non-Euclidean (Minkowski) spaces.

Bezdek has published extensively in top-tier geometry journals including Discrete and Computational Geometry, Mathematika, and Aequationes Mathematicae. His 2019 monograph "Volumetric Discrete Geometry" published by Chapman and Hall/CRC represents a significant contribution to the field. His publication record shows consistent high-impact output with 152 total works and 904 total citations according to the Hungarian Scientific Works Archive. Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate continued active research in geometric configurations and packing problems.
