His receipt of the Hungarian Order of Saint Stephen in 2013 marks formal recognition by the Hungarian state of his standing and service. Affiliation with Eötvös Loránd University links him to one of Hungary’s oldest public research institutions (inception 1635), situating him within the national academic and institutional landscape.
