I am a Hungarian sociologist of religion currently based in Vienna, Austria.

I have lived, studied and worked in Pécs, Szeged, Berlin, Erfurt, Graz and Vienna. For my PhD (2023), I conducted research on Hungarian festivals, with a particular focus on how participants interpret and experience these events. I utilise theories and tools from the field of religious studies, social anthropology, sociology and psychology to understand how individuals construct meaning of their experiences. I am an early career researcher currently planning a postdoctoral project.

A religious studies scholar researches religion from an outsider perspective. This means that they do not aim to research dogmas, theologies or claim religious truths; rather, they research how people live and experience religion, how they make meaning through religion, and what social, cultural and political roles religion can play in society.

I am motivated to conduct further research into religious, mystical, spiritual, transcendent and nonordinary experiences, and to understand their cultural and social similarities and differences, as well as learning about individual interpretations.
