Overview

Professor T. Csörgő supervised successfully 6 award-winning and highly decorated PhD students, including M. Csanád, T. Novák, R. Vértesi, M. Nagy, F. Nemes and G. Kasza, three of them are already heads of departments at various leading Hungarian research institutions like Eötvös University, HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics and MATE Institute of Technology.  He is currently supervising the PhD research of I. Szanyi, who also is already highly decorated.r. Zoltán Tóth associate professor works for the Institute of Agronomy at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He serves as chair of the Department of Agronomy.

Professor T. Csörgő contributed significantly to the discovery of the perfect fluid nature of strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma in high energy heavy ion collisions, with one paper cited more than 5000 times, several papers cited more than 500 times.  Professor Csörgő organized the participation of MATE in the PHENIX experiment at RHIC, and in the CMS and TOTEM experiments at LHC. These globally leading experimental collaborations brought MATE Femtoscopy to the forefront of international research in high energy physics. In addition, professor Csörgő was the Hungarian principal investigator in the 2021 odderon exchange discovery papers. His most important signle-authored review paper, a contribution to a NATO Advanced Study Institute report, published in Acta Physica Hungarica A (APH A), received by now more than 170 citations (most likely, this is not due to the tiny impact factor of APH A).

 
He is the member of the International Soil Tillage Research Organisation (Hungarian Branch of ISTRO), the International Scientific Centre of Fertilizers (CIEC), the International Peat Society Hungarian Branch), and the Plant Production Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He is the secretary of the Hungarian Long-term Fertilization Trial Network.He is the member of the International Soil Tillage Research Organisation (Hungarian Branch of ISTRO), the International Scientific Centre of Fertilizers (CIEC), the International Peat Society Hungarian Branch), and the Plant Production Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He is the secretary of the Hungarian Long-term Fertilization Trial Network.

He authored and co-authored more than 100 research articles quite a few was published in high-impact scientific journals.

Dr. Tóth Zoltán has collaborated with several research groups across Europe, and he has successfully applied for 4 H2020 research grants. As a young scientist he won the prestigious Magyary Zoltán Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2009.

He is an Associate Editor of the Georgikon for Agriculture Scientific Journal.
