Katalin Hangos received her MSc in chemistry (ELTE TTK, 1976), her BSc in computer science (ELTE TTK, 1980), DSc (1993), and habilitations (chemical engineering, 1994, engineering informatics, 2000), respectively. She is the Research and Education Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Systems at University of Pannonia and the Head of the Process Control Research Group of the Computer and Automation Research Institute of Hung. Acad. Sci. She is also the Head of the Research Laboratory of Intelligent Control Systems of the Faculty of Information Technology. She is one of the very few female professors in process systems and control, who has a strong interdisciplinary background in systems and control theory and computer science, as well.Her main research interest lies in dynamic modelling of process systems for control and diagnostic purposes. She is a co-author of more than 100 papers on various aspects of modelling and control of process systems with nonlinear, stochastic, Petri net, qualitative and graph theory based models.
