Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono is the owner of BAC Consulting - the Hungary-based company that licensed the pager design from Taiwan manufacturer Gold Apollo.

An undated selfie of Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono, the CEO and owner of Hungary-based BAC Consulting in this picture obtained from social media; an office building where BAC Consulting is said to be registered, in Budapest. BUDAPEST: She speaks seven languages, has a PhD in particle physics, an apartment in Budapest plastered with her own pastel drawings of nudes, and a career that took her around Africa and Europe doing humanitarian work.

An acquaintance of hers, who like others who knew her socially in Budapest asked not to be identified, said she seemed like someone who"could easily be used". A woman living in the building for the past two years said Barsony-Arcidiacono was already a resident when she moved in, and described her as kind, not loud, but communicative.

"As far as I know she has not done scientific work since then," Akos Torok, a retired physicist who was one of her professors at UCL and published papers with her at the time, told Reuters by email. That CV also described her as a former"Project Manager" at the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2008-2009, who organised a nuclear research conference. The IAEA said its records indicated she had been an intern there for eight months.
