Géza Györgyi (Budapest October 8, 1930-Szeged August 24, 1973 . ), the theoretical physicist, doctor of physical sciences, professor. He worked at the Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics and its predecessors at the Central Institute of Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (in brief: KFKI).
He graduated from high school at the Cistercian, later at the State St Imre High School. Among his classmates were Béla Abody, Zoltán Latinovits and Miklós Vajda.
In 1949 he enrolled at the Physics Department of Pázmány Péter University (today ELTE). Already in the age of a senior student, he led exercises at the university.
From 1953 he became a researcher at the Central Physics Research Institute , where he began working at the Theoretical Physics Group led by Géza Szamosi, and his field of work was nuclear physics research.
In 1956 , the Revolutionary Committee of the Central Physics Research Institute elected Géza Györgyi as secretary. He had to bear the negative consequences of this until his death, although he was not dismissed from his job. The reason for this could have been his illness.
With the 1959 polio epidemic he had a severe illness that later caused great suffering for this reason and partly ended committed suicide.
In 1959, he received a one-year invitation from Columbia University in New York to provide medical treatment, but was not allowed to leave.
In 1973 , at the age of 43, committed suicide in Szeged , at the Wandering Meeting of the Eötvös Loránd Physical Society.
