In 1994, he was a founding member of the professional association promoting the construction of the Slovak Cyclotron Center, PET Center and later the Proton Therapy Center (accelerators, isotope production, innovative clinical technologies). Until 2010, he was one of the managers of the organization, planning and implementation of projects. He introduced and put into operation the first positron emission tomography (PET) in Slovakia at the Nuclear Medicine Clinic of the St. Elizabeth Oncology Institute in Bratislava (2000). In addition, he actively participated in the introduction of new radiological, isotope diagnostic and isotope therapy methods, as well as radiopharmaceuticals, in the development of professional bills and regulations. As a university lecturer, he participated in the radiation protection training of doctors and nurses, and between 1986 and 2009 in the preparation of nuclear physics and biophysics students at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of the Comenius University in Bratislava and in the supervision of their diploma theses. He has received several professional awards and recognitions, including the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Slovak Nuclear Society, and in 2002 he received the Silver Plaque of the Government of the Slovak Republic, as well as the János Esterházy Memorial Medal for National Minorities. He is a member of several professional societies. He is the author or co-author of about 100 theses and project proposals. He currently lives in Budapest. ; ; Main work: Monitorovanie pracovísk nukleárnej medicíny (co-author), 1997, ; Atómy na Slovensku (co-author), 2006, ; Fyzika v zdravotníctve (video), 2008, ; Multimediálna učebnica fyziky (e-learning), 2008.
