Tamas Vicsek, co-ordinator for the node in Budapest, is a full professor of physics and the member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Six years ago he established the first Biological Physics Department in Hungary which he heads since then. He has published 5 books, 140 journal articles, among which 9 appeared in Nature (two of them as cover papers). His widely cited model (T.V. is the most cited physicist working in Hungary), introduced in 1995 is considered to be one of the few basic theoretical approaches to flocking .
