It started as a university project and became an international breakthrough in robotics. Benedek Tasi, a former student of our Faculty, and his team developed a bio-inspired manufacturing technology that could fundamentally transform robotics. Allonic now works with the world's leading engineers, while its roots go back to the creative, experimental environment of Pázmány ITK.

Artur Sahakyan, a Computer Science Engineering MSc student at the Faculty, recently achieved first place in the regional round of the prestigious International Quant Championship, a global competition in quantitative analysis and data science. In this interview, Artur discusses his path from Armenia to Hungary, his academic interests, his experience in the competition, and his vision for the future. His academic journey and international mindset reflect the strengths of Pázmány ITK’s English-taught, research-oriented master’s programmes, showing how strong academic foundations, international experience and curiosity can lead to outstanding achievements.

A high-impact publication has been published in the prestigious journal Advanced Healthcare Materials with the active contribution of researchers and students from our Faculty.

Our recent paper published in The FEBS Journal was accompanied by an invited Commentary written by Prof. Elisar Barbar, a leading researcher in the field. 

Imagine 21 students from 15 countries, all in one city, learning, exploring, and figuring out life in Budapest together. That’s the IPCV cohort who started their studies in September 2025. We spoke with students about their first semester at Pázmány ITK: from late-night coding sessions and library marathons to sunrises by the Parliament and unforgettable cohort moments. As they look ahead to their semester in Madrid, they share stories of friendship, growth, and the little moments that made Budapest feel like home.

The Visegrad – Accelerated Wound Healing project continues with an upcoming free online event focusing on innovative polymer-based wound dressings and biomedical applications.

The Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics hosted a farewell gathering for our first-year students of the Erasmus Mundus Artificial Intelligence for Image Processing and Computer Vision (IPCVAI) program at Grund Budapest.

Our colleague, Prof. Zsolt Szabó, has successfully received Advanced research funding from the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDI Office, Hungary, in Hungarian: NKFIH ) for his project entitled “Metastructure-based lab-on-chip sensors”. The four-year project will be implemented with a total of HUF 150 million in state funding.

In December, Associate Dean and Head of the Molecular Bionics Engineering BSc and Info-Bionics MScProgram, Kristóf Iván, and Andrea Mihálffy, Head of the International Relations Office at PPKE ITK, conducted a partner visit to the Porto campus of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP). The purpose of the visit was to gain first-hand insight into the operations and research infrastructure of Pázmány ITK’s esteemed partner institution, and to explore opportunities for new joint professional collaborations.
