To Whom lt May Concern:
l have known Lehel Simon for some half dozen years, as we have both attended a
yearty conference in Szeged, Hungary. During that time l have come to know him
professionally and have heard him give several presentations and can therefore attest
that he is a serious and dedicated young academic.
Lehel Simon received an M.A. in Philosophy and is now about to defend his completed
Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Debrecen in the specialization of Human
Sexuality and Personality Psychology. He has a special interest in autism and, more
broadly, in biopsychology, specifically in the sexual psychology of the relation of the
mind and neurobiology. Currently he is working on [bio]psychological analysis within a
research group that is developing and patenting a medication in this field.
At a relatively young age, Lehel Simon has already presented literally dozens of
scholarly papers at conferences in Hungary as well as internationally. Coincidentally,
currently we both had papers published in the same journal in Hungary, related to the
conference mentioned above that we both attend regularly. Lehel Simon is off to a jump
start in his profession and a productive career doubtless awaits him.
