Peter Varga studied civil engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. He worked as a research assistant at the Technical University of Vienna and obtained his PhD in bone biomechanics under the supervision of Prof. Philippe Zysset. His work was recognized with the 'Award of Excellence 2010' from the Austrian Federal Minister for Science and Research. After a postdoctoral year in Vienna, Varga joined the Julius Wolff Institute at Charité UM Berlin as a postdoctoral fellow and principal investigator. In 2014, he became a senior project leader in the Biomedical Development group at the AO Research Institute Davos, led by Prof. Boyko Gueorguiev. His research focuses on the biomechanical behavior and failure of bone and bone-implant constructs, including computer simulations of these phenomena.
