Electrical Engineer · Professor · Rector
Rector of Széchenyi István University and
Head of the Doctoral School of Multidisciplinary Engineering Sciences.
Dr. Baranyi earned MSc degrees in Electrical Engineering and
Engineering Education from the
Budapest University of Technology and Economics in
1994 and 1995.
He received his PhD in 1999,
defended his DSc degree at the
Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2006,
and was appointed Full Professor in 2009.
He currently leads 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
across Europe and Asia, and has delivered nearly
70 invited lectures at prominent 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.
The field is supported by an annual international conference series,
the IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications.
Its aim is to study humans and their infocommunication environment as an
inseparable unified system, focusing on emerging cognitive
capabilities arising from the interaction between humans and artificial cognitive systems.
He developed the TP model transformation, a novel approach in
systems and control theory that introduced a fundamentally new 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
awards, including the Sigma Xi Canadian International Constituency Group Award,
the International Dennis Gabor Award, and
22 additional national and international scientific honors.
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.
