Tibor is pursuing a Ph.D. in Statistical Methods in Economics at the University of Salerno. His main research activity is developing econometric models applied in macroeconomics with a primary focus on the interrelationship between finance and the real economy. His professional experience includes working as a general ledger (GL) accountant and a financial analyst. At Omni, he translates financial queries and regulations into calculators through JS coding with clear and user-friendly content. He spends the academic year in Italy but is keen to travel to Hungary, Poland, and Malaysia in his free time. Interested in gastronomy and vinery, he is able to feed the whole team with pörkölt - a delicious dish from his homeland.

Professional background and credentials
Tibor's enthusiasm toward finance and macroeconomics began in the first year of his Bachelor's program when he became familiar with the discipline's fundamental concepts. Since the U.S. housing boom, reinforced by sophisticated financial innovations, and the following global financial crisis coincided with his early studies, he soon became fascinated by how speculative forces can derail the economy from its conventional path. As a result, after a scholarship spent abroad, he completed his thesis on the U.S. housing bubble and its aftermath. While following his first degree, he began his professional work in the financial sector abroad and remained eager to study macroeconomic events. The high motivation to continue his research led him to apply for a master's program besides his full-time job. The acquired additional knowledge in economics and statistics in a multicultural environment provided an excellent setting for further improvement. The central interest became evident: how could macroeconomic irregularities involving financial and behavioral aspects be analyzed through statistical models? His master's thesis was the first attempt to explore the subject more in-depth through this lens. He studied the interrelationship between the Spanish housing boom, lending activity, and monetary policy using an econometric approach, making him more interested in statistical methodologies. After his master's degree, his curiosity did not cease. As he continued his professional work as a financial analyst, he soon gained a one-year traineeship in Spain, where he began to work on a deeper analysis of the unusually prolonged stagnation experienced after the Great Recession. Since he has always been fascinated by what is in the black box behind the econometric models, he decided to apply for PhD in statistics, where he gained a fully funded scholarship at the University of Salerno. Combining his macroeconomic background with new knowledge of statistical methods, he started a promising research line on developing novel statistical methodologies tailored to macroeconomic and financial matters.
