Education
- 2012–2015: Teaching of German Language & Literature and Mathematics – Faculty of Education, J. Selye University
- 2015–2017: Master’s continuation in the same programme – Faculty of Education, J. Selye University
- 2020–2024: PhD in Theory of Teaching Mathematics and Informatics – Faculty of Economics and Informatics, J. Selye University
Research Focus
His scholarly work straddles pure mathematics and mathematics education. In pure mathematics he investigates densities, distribution and convergence properties of numerical sequences, while in education he explores digital distance learning, comparative competences of Slovak and Hungarian secondary students, and innovative didactic methods including visualization and open-ended problem solving.
Publications & Impact
Since 2021 he has authored or co-authored 20 scholarly outputs indexed in Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus and Current Contents Connect, accruing 19 citations (10 without self-citations). His works appear in journals such as Mathematics (MDPI), Journal of Humanistic Mathematics and Annales Mathematicae et Informaticae.
