Candidate of Biological Sciences, plant protection engineer, retired insect parasitology researcher, former external collaborator at the Natural History Museum in Oslo and British Council scholarship holder at the British Museum (1991).
Between 1980 and 1993, he was head of the natural sciences department at the Vas County Museums in Kőszeg, then head of the natural sciences department at the Savaria Museum (1993); county museum director (1994-1997). Between 1998 and 2006, he was head of the Special Laboratory of Insect Parasitology in Kőszeg. The highlight of the laboratory’s work was the 2002 symposium, which was attended by 86 parasitology specialists from 32 countries.
His special field of expertise is the world of parasitic chalcidoid wasps (Chalcidoidea), which play a key role in creating ecological balance. He has participated in nearly 350 international projects, in which he performed the identification.
His most significant and groundbreaking work will soon be published in the journal Zootaxa as a 700-page monograph entitled “Revision of Anaphes Haliday (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) of the Palearctic region, with emphasis on Europe,” in which he explores a previously unstudied genus (Anaphes) of the Mymaridae family of chalcidoid wasps.
