Dr. Katalin Bagi is a Professor at the Department of Mechanics of Supporting Structures within the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Faculty of Civil Engineering . Her academic career spans decades of research, teaching, and leadership in computational mechanics and masonry structures. Teaching: Courses include Mechanics , Strength of Materials , Numerical Models for Structures , Micromechanics of Granular Materials , and Masonry Structural Analysis (1997–2016). Research: Focus on discrete element modeling (DEM) , micromechanics of granular media , and mechanics of masonry vaults , with applications to historical structures and modern engineering challenges. Recent publications explore advanced DEM techniques for validating fan vault geometries, torsion-shear behavior in interlocking joints, and optimization of block assemblages. Her work bridges theoretical analysis with practical simulations to address structural stability and material failure. Scientific Awards include: Korányi Imre Scholarship (1991–1992) Bolyai János Research Scholarships (1998–2001, 2005–2008) Széchenyi István Scholarship (2002–2005) Students: Supervised Tamás Forgács (2016–, Thesis: Masonry Arch Bridges). Labs & Teams: Affiliated with the Pál Vásárhelyi Doctoral School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences and international research collaborations in DEM and structural mechanics.
