I am an organizational complexity scientist working as an assistant professor at the Center for Collective Learning (CCL, at CIAS), and the Institute of Data Analytics and Information Systems at Corvinus University of Budapest (BCE). I lead the Organizational Dynamics Group (ODG) within CCL. I hold a PhD in network science (Central European University), and have a background in organizational sociology (MSc, University of Amsterdam).
I have been researching team dynamics in escape rooms, using them as noninterventional social laboratories to better understand teams/collectives by observing how they collaborate and perform non-routine tasks under time pressure.
In the Organizational Dynamics Group, we study organizations as complex systems being more than the collection of their elements. We focus on dynamic processes, emergent phenomena and relational aspects of teams and organizations to understand them from a holistic angle.
