Dr. Benedek’s research spans several decades, primarily addressing the hydrodynamics of ship propulsion systems, with a focus on scale effects in small ship models, wake fraction analysis, and thrust deduction modeling. His work also intersects with transportation informatics, particularly in developing frameworks for mobile navigation systems and on-board vehicle controllers. His publications reflect a consistent interest in optimizing propeller efficiency and resolving hydrodynamic discrepancies between ship models and full-scale prototypes.

Recent trends in his publications emphasize the integration of computational methods in marine hydrodynamics and transportation systems, including data compression techniques for embedded controllers and .NET-based navigation frameworks. These works highlight his interdisciplinary approach, merging naval engineering principles with software and automation advancements.

The Applied Computer Science Group at the Department of Automation and Applied Informatics serves as his primary research hub, linking his contributions to broader informatics and automation initiatives.
