Our speakers:

Prof. Péter Baranyi

Professor Baranyi obtained his Ph.D. in Informatics in 1999 and became the Doctor of Hungarian Academy Sciences in 2006. He is a member of the Hungarian Academy of Engineering. His work has been recognized with several international awards, including the Kimura Award, International Dennis Gabor Award, and the young investigator award by Sigma XI. In the field of non-linear control theory, Professor Baranyi developed the TP model transformation, which is a higher-order singular value decomposition of continuous functions, structures, or dynamic models. This transformation plays a crucial role in non-linear control design theories and opens up new theory for optimization.

César A. Hidalgo is more than a scholar: he's the visionary who has rewritten how we view the economy, data and artificial intelligence. He is leading the way forward at the Artificial and Natural Intelligence Institute in Toulouse and the Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies in Budapest. He's the author of revolutionary works like "Why Information Grows" and "The Atlas of Economic Complexity".
