Ferenc Kun is a professor of physics at the University of Debrecen in Hungary. He studied at ESPCI Paris and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Stuttgart in Germany. His research focuses on the statistical physics of fracture, fragmentation, and the failure of heterogeneous materials. He has contributed to the modeling of fracture and fragmentation processes using discrete-element and fiber-bundle approaches. He has also studied the geometrical properties of fragments and fracture patterns in experiments and simulations.
