He graduated at the Faculty of Science of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice in the field of Mathematics in the year 1975. He acquired the scientific degree of Candidate of Sciences (an equivalent of PhD) in the field of Geometry and Topology at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Comenius University in Bratislava in the year 1983. He was inaugurated in the field of Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of Comenius University in Bratislava in the year 2011. He is employed as a university teacher in the position of professor at the Institute of Mathematics. His scientific research is devoted mainly to the Chromatic graph theory. For many years he was one of co-organisers of the international workshop Cycles and Colourings. He is the principal guarantor of the doctoral study programme Discrete Mathematics. He founded the magister study programme Informatical Mathematics, and was its guarantor.
