Invitation to WSPS 4
The Section of Mathematical and Information Sciences of the Association of Hungarian PhD and DLA Students and the PhD Students’ Union of the University of Pécs anticipates. Your attendance at the 4th Winter School of PhD Students in Informatics and Mathematics, which will be held between: 24th-26th February, 2017 at the University of Pécs, Pécs, Hungary.
The aim of our winter school is dual:
- improve the multidisciplinary scientific network of PhD students by inviting them to present their work in poster sessions and;
- improve professional skills in an intensive workshop.
Each year, the workshop has a theme relevant for a wide audience. Internationally renowned scientists will give a number of in-depth lectures; these will be accompanied by seminar sessions where attendees will be able to explore topics in an interactive, hands-on way. This year’s topic is big data, and the workshop is taught professors from the Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Informatics (ELTE IK), Big Data Laboratory (BDLAB).

Dr. Sándor Laki received the MSc and PhD degrees in computer science from the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary, in 2007 and 2015, respectively. He is currently working as an assistant professor at the Department of Information Systems, Eötvös Loránd University. His research interests focus on active and passive network measurement techniques, traffic analytics, IP geolocation. He is the author of more than 20 peer-reviewed papers including publications at INFOCOM, ICC and SIGCOMM. Since 2015, he is a senior member of the Communication Networks Laboratory – a joint laboratory of Eötvös University and Ericsson Research, coordinating joint projects in different field of computer networking and IoTs. Recently, his interest has shifted towards data driven applications in the field of IoTs and telecommunication networks. In the past years, he has participated in various national, EC and EIT Digital projects (FP7 OneLab2, FP7 NOVI, FP7 OpenLab, EIT Digital SmartUC, EIT Digital FITTING, FP7 XIFI and FP7 FI-CORE). Currently, he is the responsible lecturer of the course „Computer Networks”, „Big Data Architectures” and „Big Data Analytics” at Eötvös Loránd University.
Gergő Gombos is an assistant lecturer at the Department of Information Systems, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary. He received his Computer Science MSc degree from Eötvös Loránd University in 2012. In the same year he started the Doctoral School of Informatics. His PhD topic contains the cloud systems, semantic web, big data and distributed systems. He also interests on IoT technologies and computer networking too. He teaches Computer Networks, Big Data Analytics, Big Data Architecture and Modern Databases (NoSql). He participated some european projects, like FP7 NOVI, FP7 XiFi, FP7 Fi-Core and FI-PPP I3H.
