I'm Ottó Csíki, PhD - a researcher and car enthusiast
In 2007, I fell in love with cars, and in 2013, I discovered my passion for business research. These were the two decisive moments in my life. Thus, I define myself as a researcher and a car enthusiast, but I’m also an economist, financial and data analyst, and a hobby painter.
My main research areas include management, corporate finance, and the automotive industry. Given the nature of my work, a strong statistical knowledge and data visualization skills are essential; therefore, I continuously strive to enhance these.
My aim is to make a positive impact and contribute to the world, focusing on the automotive industry and mobility through research.

Main focus
To sum up in a few words what I actually do:
Scientific research
In scientific research, it is both beautiful and challenging to contribute something new to existing knowledge. For this, you need a good idea, combined with persistent work. If you succeed, it’s a truly joyful moment! However, the results are often only accessible and understandable to the scientific audience.
Science communication
One of my personal goals is to make the results of my research known to a wider audience and to put the experiences I have gained during the research in the service of the community. In order to contribute to this cause I’m involved in research affecting my community and explanatory journalism.
Practical implication
Research related to management and economics should not be disconnected from practical life. In this regard, I also have practical experience in the business world, having worked in the automotive industry for 4 years as a financial and data analyst. Real-world experiences enable me to identify topics that are relevant to everyday life.
