Gergő Almádi and Gábor Domokos, members of the HUN-REN Morphodynamics Research Group, has been recognized by the Rector’s Award of Budapest University of Technology and Economics for describing the first mono-monostatic tetarahedron named “Bille”. The existence of such tetrahedron was conjectured by J.H. Conway in 1984, and that conjecture is proved by the construction of Bille, described in the MSc Diploma thesis of Gergő Almádi.
Congratulations!

Several presentations were held in the session for Physics, Geosciences and Mathematics, Applied Geometry of the 37th National Scientific Students’ Associations Conference in relation with the Morphodynamics Research Group as follows:

• Gergő Almádi: Swindlers’ guide: the complex ways of loading dice, 1st prize (supervisor: Gábor Domokos)
• Gergő Almádi, Eszter Ferencz: The time evolution of crack networks, or, the Gilbert-piaffe, special prize (supervisor: Gábor Domokos, Ferenc Kun)
• Eszter Ferencz: Aptychusok szerkezetének geometriai elemzése, special prize (supervisor: Gábor Domokos)
• Kinga Kocsis: Ezer tonna márvány, avagy tér-idő utazás Michelangelo kőtömbjeihez (supervisor: Gábor Domokos)
• Kinga Kocsis: Ideal wall mosaics (supervisor: Gábor Domokos)

In the section of Engineering Sciences:

• Máté Szondi: Alakevolúciós egyenlet használata membránfelületek számítására (supervisor: András Sipos)

In addition, the above work of Eszter Ferencz on aptychi was awarded by a third prize on the XXVI. Transylvanian Scientific Student’s Association Conference in the section of Civil engineering and Architecture.

Congratulations!

The János Bolyai Mathematical Society decided on the Gyula Farkas Memorial Awards: one of the awardees in 2025 is Krisztina Regős, PhD student of the HUN-REN Morphodynamics Research Group.
Congratulations!

János Török and Krisztina Regős, members of our research group, are ranked 31st and 92th among all lecturers of the Budapest Univeristy of Technology and Economics.
Congratulations!

Gergő Almádi, student of the research group was awarded by József Nádor Prize on 12th March. The prize is traditionally given by the BME to students with outstanding candidature for the National Scholarship for Higher Education.

At this year’s Institutional Scientific Students’ Associations Conference at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, five presentations were related to Morphodynamics: Máté Szondi (1st Prize + Pro Progressio Special Prize), Gergő Almádi (1st Prize), Gergő Almádi and Eszter Ferencz (3rd Prize), Kinga Kocsis (Special award of the Department of Geometry and Morphology + Special award for presentation), Emese Sarolta Encz and Gergely Barta (Special award of the Department of Geometry and Morphology).

Several presentations were held in the session for Mathematics, Physics and Geosciences of the 36th National Scientific Students’ Associations Conference in relation with the Morphodynamics Research Group. Gergő Almádi has been awarded by 3rd prize for his presentation entitled Inhomogén politópok mechanikai komplexitása – avagy van-e egy tetraédernek lelke?, under the supervision of Gábor Domokos and Krisztina Regős. Ágoston Szesztay (Iteratív módon csonkolt poliéderek statikai egyenúlyáról) and Máté Szondi (A kvantummechanikai állapottér egy felbontása által indukált geometria) got special prizes.
