Prof. Annamária Várkonyiné Kóczy is a Professor at the Department of Informatics within the Faculty of Economics and Informatics at J. Selye University. She holds a joint appointment as a professor at Óbuda University's Institute of Software Design and Software Development. Her academic journey includes: Electrical Engineering studies (Measurement and Control) at Technical University of Budapest (1975-1981) Mechanical Engineering degree (Mechanical Engineer-Teacher) from the same institution (1978-1983) PhD in Computer Science from Technical University of Budapest (1996) DSc (Doctor of Sciences) from Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2010) Habilitation from Széchenyi István University (2017) Her research spans digital signal processing, soft computing, and hybrid techniques for complex systems, with applications in medical diagnostics, intelligent control, and sustainable technologies. She leads projects in computational intelligence and has developed novel algorithms for real-time processing in resource-constrained environments. Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on AI-driven solutions: machine learning for bioacoustic analysis (beehive swarming), fuzzy logic optimizations for edge computing, medical imaging diagnostics (COVID-19 detection), and sustainable energy control systems. Her work consistently bridges theoretical models with practical implementations in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial diagnostics. She has secured multiple research grants including: OTKA K 105846: Intelligent Space and robotics (2012-2017) OTKA K 78576: Intelligent techniques in signal/image processing (2009-2013) GVOP-3.3.1: Intelligent 3D modeling systems (2006-2007) EU Structural Funds projects on vehicle industry collaborations She mentors graduate researchers in applied informatics and leads international collaborations across Europe and Asia, focusing on intelligent systems development.
