Micropalaeontologist Ágnes Görög is an assistant professor in the Palaeontological Department at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary. Her diploma work was on the Sarmatian (Late Miocene) benthic foraminifera. After she defended her PhD. Theses on Cretaceous Orbitolinids of Hungary. Her research concerns the taxonomy, stratigraphy and ecology of foraminifera from Late Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Miocene. Since 1994 together with professor Roland Wernli (Univ. Genève) she is focused on the taxonomy, palaeobiogeography and evolution of early planktonic foraminifera. She is the leader of the Hantken Foundation.
