Resume
I am a data visualization expert and head of project of Átlátszó’s visual journalism project ATLO Team. I’m also master teacher of journalism, media studies and information graphics at the Media Department of Eötvös Loránd University, and research fellow and data advisor at the Central European University’s Center for Media, Data and Society. I serve on the editorial board of Médiakutató, a quarterly scientific journal of Media Studies. I also teach data visualization at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
Previously I created data based, media literacy and digital humanities projects in collaboration with Transparency International Hungary, Center for Independent Journalism Budapest, Mérték Media Monitor, the Asimov Foundation, Central European University and the Association of Hungarian Content Providers. I got MA degree in media studies and art history. I’m currently writing my Phd-thesis on the history of information graphics in Hungary. I live in Budapest with my beautiful wife and our five years old cute rascal son.
