Magdolna Békési-Gardánfalvi serves as a Lecturer in Chemistry at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (MKE) and the Hungarian National Museum, where she has taught since 2006. Her instructional focus includes applied chemistry, occupational safety, and textile materials for art conservation and restoration programs, contributing significantly to the training of conservators in Hungary. Her educational qualifications are: Doctoral Candidate, University of West Hungary, Károly Simonyi Faculty of Engineering, Wood Science and Art (2015–present) Art Conservation Assistant, Hungarian National Museum (2006) University Diploma in Chemistry and Environmental Science, University of Veszprém (2000–2006) High School Diploma, Cistercian Order Nagy Lajos High School, biology-chemistry department (1996–2000) Magdolna Békési-Gardánfalvi's research centers on conservation science, particularly the chemical analysis of archaeological textiles and the development of safety protocols for museum environments. She employs advanced analytical techniques such as SEM-EDX to study natural dyes and fiber composition, aiming to improve conservation methodologies and artifact preservation. Her publication record reflects a dedicated focus on practical applications in cultural heritage. The 2017 study on SEM-EDX for textile analysis demonstrates her innovative approach to material characterization, while the 2011 work on security technology highlights her holistic view of museum conservation encompassing environmental safety and risk management. While specific details about her advisees and research funding are not publicly documented, her teaching roles at MKE and the Hungarian National Museum indicate an active involvement in mentoring the next generation of art conservators.
