Education activity

Dr. Gábor Harsányi is the lecturer and composer of the following subjects at present: Electronics Technology, Microelectronics and Technology, Realisation of Electronic Circuits, Multichip Modules, Sensors, Actuators, and Displays, Sensors in Biomedical Applications.
He gave professional short courses worldwide on the topic Sensors at the European Microelectronics Conferences, in the frame of the EUROPRACTICE project, as well as with the sponsorship of Technomic Publishing Co.
He authored two monographs published in the US, he is the co-author and editor of several books and lecture notes, author of about 120 scientific papers published in international journals and conference proceedings.


Professional experience and projects

Dr. Gábor Harsányi coordinated a great number of research and development projects sponsored by industrial companies, by Hungarian governmental institutions and funds (like OTKA, the National Scientific and Research Fund; OMFB, The National Committee of Technological Developments, and OM, the Ministry of Education, AMFK, the Fund for Hungarian Higher Education and Research), or by international organizations (like EC, the European Commission, NSF, the National Science Foundation of the US). Topics of these projects are as follows:
Technology of think-and thin-film sensors
Thick-film pressure, temperature and gas sensors
Electrochemical migration related reliability problems (OTKA)
Fiber optic sensors (AMFK)
Thick film superconductors (AMFK)
Conducting polymer based bio- and gas sensors (AMFK)
Conducting polymer based sensors in environment and biomedical applications (OM)
Reliability problems of environment-friend, low cost materials of microelectronic interconnection systems (OM)
Establishment of Fast Prototyping Low Cost Multichip Module Technology Facilities in Eastern Europe for the Benefit of European Industry - CM2 (sponsored by EC in INCO/Copernicus) Sensors for Intelligent Gas Monitoring Applications - SIGMA (EC in INCO/Copernicus)
