She teaches physics and astronomy at Pratt.

Ágnes is and avocate for science literacy and is active in communicating science to a wide audience. She initiated a scientific visualization collaboration between Brookhaven Lab and Pratt Institute, thus educating a wider audience about cutting edge research and how this is carried out, while providing unique experiences and projects for Pratt students, as well as clear visual props for researchers to tell their story.
