Monika Varga, PhD, agricultural engineer, senior researcher at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Her research work focuses on the development of a general modelling framework (Programmable Process Structures). Recent practical applications cover the utilization of dynamic coupling models for the analysis and the planning and operation of complex (advantageously circular) technological, agricultural, aquacultural, and environmental systems. Her interests include dynamic simulation, model-based planning and operation, agro-environmental processes, circular processes, process modeling, process structures, and cooperative process systems. She was a Fulbright researcher at the Ohio State University, and a Bolyai Scholar of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
