Zoltan was a man of incredible kindness. He was a devoted and rigorous supervisor, and a brilliant academic and had a deep sense of humour. He has always found encouraging words and his guidance was extremely precious to me. He was a role model of what perseverance and engagement mean. I owe him a lot!
