Ágnes Szendrei is a Hungarian-American mathematician whose research concerns clones, the congruence lattice problem, and other topics in universal algebra.
[2] In May 2022[3][4], Dr. Szendrei was elected as an external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences[5]; such external memberships are for Hungarian scientists who live outside of Hungary and who have made exceptional contributions to scientific research.
Szendrei earned a doctorate from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1982, and a habilitation in 1993.
[6] Her 1982 dissertation was Clones of Linear Operations and Semi-Affine Algebras, supervised by Béla Csákány [hu].
She won the Kató Rényi Award for undergraduate research in 1975, the Géza Grünwald Commemorative Prize for young researchers of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society in 1978, and the Golden Ring of the Republic in 1979.
