Compact Silicon Chip by ITMO and PKU Revolutionizes Optical Memory
…ce energy consumption needed for the switch, as the less energy required, the more elements can be placed on a chip. Researchers from ITMO University and Peking University solved this issue by developing a microscopic light “trap” on a custom-built silicon chip that combines compactness, energy-efficiency, and a high Q factor (the efficiency of a given system in …

Student Spotlight: Umer Ahmed Baig Mughal, Pakistan
…Pakistan. It’s known for its rooftop wind-catchers that channel cool river breezes into homes. Those ancient “air conditioners” taught me something early: engineering is about solving real human problems with what you have. Summers there often exceed 45°C, so St. Petersburg’s climate has been quite a change! What sparked your interest in robotics and AI? Robots…

Chem & Bio Engineering: New Faculty Launches at ITMO University
…ational project, and we maintain close ties with the industry. I’m also the head of the Gazprom Neft-ITMO Research and Education Center – an independent center that focuses on solving industrial challenges in the fields of oilfield chemistry, drilling fluids, and new structural materials for drilling, exploration, production, and transportation of oil. In the times o…

Offline Robots and Automated Kitchens: ITMO Researcher Vladislav Gromov on New Challenges for Robotics
…tance, picking up blank parts, transporting them to the station, collecting the finished products, and sending them to the next stage – cleaning, polishing, or painting. To solve these problems, we work in two main areas: Mechanics: we develop omnidirectional platforms that will allow a robot to move in all directions, overcome obstacles, and interact with equi…

ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #106
…roducts are produced in Russia; processing that amount can be difficult in terms of time, energy, and even logistics. But a new waste recycling device designed at ITMO aims to solve the issue. Due to a different, non-continous process, the unit consumes about 20 times less energy than its counterparts. Read more: ITMO Researchers Develop Biofermenter That Accelera…

Quick Fix: Best Online Games for Erudites
… list, Bracket City is a fun way to dip into random history while wracking your brain. In it, a single sentence has been turned into a “nesting doll” of bracketed definitions. Solve one, and you get to decipher the next one – and so on and so on, until you get to learn about an event that happened on this day in history. *** Stacks It’s like Tetris, but with…

ITMO AI Expert to Evaluate Economic Consequences of Urban Decisions
…nts; such an assessment requires substantial amounts of time and money. Digital twins of cities – virtual copies that rely on large datasets to enable city management and help solve everyday problems – can reduce the time needed for data processing and decision making. However, most existing urban digital twins typically focus on visualization and spatial design and …

Student Spotlight: Urwa Khalil, Pakistan
… I build every day are extraordinarily capable of specific tasks, but the real future is humans and robots thriving together. What real-world problem would you most like to solve through robotics or AI? Environmental monitoring in places too dangerous for human inspectors. My thesis is about a robot that can map air pollution in real time. The bigger vision is …

Daria Kozlova at SPIEF 2026: How AI Is Transforming Education in 2026
…e to bear a heavy burden as they have to review courses and practical tasks. “The scenario in which a lecturer creates a task using ChatGPT and a student uses ChatGPT to solve it doesn’t work for us. We see much more value in a project-based approach when the task per se implies trying to use AI – for example, to find errors, adapt, or finalize your assignment.…

… can’t handle the tasks associated with science and business: LLMs can’t read the emotional tone of emails, adapt to new conditions, or cooperate with other neural networks to solve a task. These factors directly affect the quality of service they provide, especially in retail, where it’s important to understand consumer moods, quickly adapt to change, and coordinate…
