George lost his arms and feet in 2010 after a meningitis infection in his home country of Hungary. He was already on track to become an engineer, but this focused his attention on upper limb prostheses. After being fit with his first prosthesis, he realized that these devices are thoroughly underwhelming and decided to do something about it. He majored in control theory and won a Fulbright scholarship to Johns Hopkins University, where he earned his Master's in Biomedical Engineering. His focus remains the enhancement of prosthesis control with a premium on promoting users' engagement in the process. He moved back to Hungary from where he manages IBT's research efforts, working to ensure that the next steps are those that benefit users the most.
