He spent his postdoctoral years (1984–85) together with Professor Louis D. Quin (Duke University, Durham, NC, and then University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA). He has been the Head of Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology for 22 years (1999– 2021). He devoted his research carrier to organophosphorus chemistry developing new synthetic methods and new families of compounds. He also deals with environmentally friendly (green) chemistry embracing MW chemistry, ionic liquids, new catalysts and selective syntheses along with flow chemistry. He took also part in ca. 30 pharmaceutical industrial projects developing technologies, whose results were implemented by 3 patents. He is the author or co-author of 685 papers including 42 review articles, 3 books and 53 book chapters. His H index is 46, the number of independent citations is 5120. In the last 5 years, he delivered 16 plenary or key-note lectures. 21 PhD degrees were born with his supervision, 3 degrees are in process. His educational activity covers delivering lectures in “Organic chemical technology” (both on the BSc and MSc level), “Environmentally-friendly chemistry” (MSc), “Organic chemical basic processes” (BSc/MSc) and “Organophosphorus chemistry”. He directed close to 200 project works and diploma theses. He is the Editor-in Chief of Curr. Org. Chem., founder E-I-C of Curr. Green Chem., and the Section-E-I-C of the “Chemical Section” of Symmetry. He is Associate Editor for Curr. Org. Synth., Lett. in Org. Chem., Lett. in Drug Design and Discovery and Heteroatom Chem. He is Editorial Board Member for Molecules (Green Section), Green Processing and Synthesis, and Phosphorus, Sulfur, Silicon. He is the member of the Steering Committee of International Conference of Phosphorus Chem. (ICPC). The 22. ICPC was arranged in Budapest/Hungary in 2018 under his chairmanship. Presently, he is the trustee of the Rector in the project “For Green and Sustainable Budapest University of Technology”. He has been acknowledged by the high state decoration of “Knight’s Cross” (2021) and the highest university medal “József Nádor Price” (2022).
