Gyula Varga is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Manufacturing Science, University of Miskolc, Hungary. He graduated from the University of Miskolc, Hungary (1979), as a mechanical engineer, and then he obtained his Ph.D. at the same University (1996). In the first 2 years of his professional career, he worked as a scientific scholarship trainee at the Department of Mechanics at the University of Miskolc. His research field was the FEM analysis of double-curved shell elements. Then, he worked for the Research Institute for Combustion Technology from 1981 to 1990 as a research assistant and senior researcher. He performed his work in the fields of combustion theory, analysis of heat transfer, and design of different industrial gas burners; among these, one was patented with two co-authors. Since 1990, he has worked for the Department of Production Engineering. In the meanwhile, he acquired a four-month “Excalibur scholarship” at the University of Manchester Institution Science and Technology (UMIST) in Manchester, UK, in 1993. He received the Szechenyi Istvan scholarship between 2002 and 2005. He also participated in several industrial R&D projects dealing with different problems of production engineering. His main research field is the examination of environmentally conscious machining and theoretical and experimental investigation of the technology of diamond burnishing.
