János Koltai is an assistant professor at the Department of Biological Physics, Eötvös Loránd University. He received his PhD degree in 2005 at Eötvös Loránd University under the supervision of József Cserti. His research focus is on transport properties of mesoscopic systems, ab initio simulation of carbon nanostructures, spectral properties of atomically thin two dimensional structures. As the leader of the “Modern Physics Teaching Lab”, he aims to include students in the work of the Quantum Information National Laboratory. He is the author of 69 publications with a total of 904 citations.
