Electrical Engineer · Professor · Rector
Rector of Széchenyi István University and
Head of the Doctoral School of Multidisciplinary Engineering Sciences.
Dr. Baranyi earned his MSc degrees in Electrical Engineering and Engineering Education
from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in
1994 and 1995.
He obtained his PhD in 1999,
his Doctor of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (DSc) degree in
2006, and was appointed Full Professor in 2009.
He currently serves as Head of the
Doctoral School of Multidisciplinary Engineering Sciences
at Széchenyi István University and is also a professor at the
Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
He has held research and project leadership positions at leading universities
in Europe and Asia and has delivered nearly
70 invited lectures at prestigious universities and research institutions worldwide.
Dr. Baranyi is the originator of the scientific concept of
Cognitive Infocommunications,
which has evolved into an independent scientific discipline since 2010,
supported by an annual international conference series
(IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications).
This field studies humans and their infocommunication environment as an
inseparable unified system, focusing on newly emerging
cognitive capabilities arising from the interaction between
humans and artificial cognitive systems.
He is the developer of the TP model transformation,
a breakthrough approach in systems and control theory that introduced
a novel methodology for linear matrix inequality–based synthesis.
Over the past 15 years, this TP model–based framework has evolved into a
distinct school of control theory.
For his scientific and engineering achievements, Dr. Baranyi has received
numerous honors, including the
Sigma Xi Canadian International Constituency Group Award,
the International Dennis Gabor Award,
and 22 additional national and international scientific prizes.
For excellence in academic leadership and mentorship, he was also awarded the
Master Teacher Gold Medal.
He is the author of approximately 400 scientific publications,
including 3 books and 90 journal articles.
In the field of engineering sciences, he ranks among the
most highly cited researchers in Hungary,
with over 5,000 Google Scholar citations,
including approximately 2,600 independent citations.
