Dr Károly Jármai
is a professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Miskolc, where he graduated as a mechanical engineer and received his doctorate (dr.univ.) in 1979. He teaches design of steel structures, welded structures, composite structures and optimization in Hungarian and in the English language for foreign students. His research interests include structural optimization, mathematical programming techniques and expert systems. Dr. Jármai wrote his C.Sc. (Ph.D.) dissertation at the Hungarian Academy of Science in 1988, became a European Engineer (Eur. Ing. FEANI, Paris) in 1990 and did his habilitation (dr.habil.) at Miskolc in 1995. Having successfully defended his doctor of technical science thesis (D.Sc.) in 1995, he subsequently received awards from the Engineering for Peace Foundation in 1997 and a scholarship as Széchenyi professor between the years 1997-2000. He is the co-author (with Farkas) of three books in English
Analysis and Optimum Design of Metal Structures
,
Economic Design of Metal Structures, Design and optimization of metal structures
and two monographs in Hungarian, and has published over 430 professional papers, lecture notes, textbook chapters and conference papers. He is a founding member of ISSMO (International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization), a Hungarian delegate, vice chairman of commission XV and a subcommission chairman XV-F of IIW (International Institute of Welding). He has held several leading positions in GTE (Hungarian Scientific Society of Mechanical Engineers) and has been the president of this society at the University of Miskolc since 1991. He was a visiting researcher at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden in 1991, visiting professor at Osaka University in 1996-97, at the National University of Singapore in 1998 and at the University of Pretoria several times between 2000-2005.
