Lakatos Ilona Éva

Lakatos Ilona Éva serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics at Budapest University of Technology and Economics' Faculty of Civil Engineering. Her research focuses on biomechanical behavior of bone surrounding dental implants, load-dependent transformation of spongy bone, and anisotropy of porous materials, bridging civil engineering principles with medical applications.

Her academic credentials include:

• 2007: Civil Engineering MSc, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
• 2009: Medical Engineering MSc, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
• 2012: PhD, Budapest University of Technology and Economics

Dr. Lakatos investigates biomechanical phenomena including human cornea behavior and bone-integrated implant effects, with expertise in fracture mechanics and porous material properties. Her work demonstrates interdisciplinary connections between structural engineering and biomedical science through experimental analysis of bone mechanics and material anisotropy.

Her accolades include:

• 2007 Underground Engineering Fund Thesis Prize
• 2009 Hungarian Chamber of Engineers Thesis Prize
• 2010 BME Research Competition 1st Prize

She teaches Statics, Strength of Materials (in Hungarian/English), Dynamics, Biomechanics, Finite Element Method, and Applied Fracture Mechanics. Her PhD supervision covers corneal biomechanics and implant-bone interactions, reflecting her dual expertise in engineering mechanics and biomedical applications. Previous professional experience includes engineering work at Sterner Mérnökiroda Kft. (2006-2007) and international practice in Canada (2006).
