How to read a scientific paper
Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by the dozens, if not hundreds, of scientific papers you have to sort through for research? ITMO.NEWS spoke with one of the university’s researchers to deliver a breakdown of how to best approach this difficult task and come out victorious.
Mastering computer vision
The School of Physics and Engineering at ITMO is launching a new Master’s program! The program will focus extensively on practical training, allowing students to combine their studies with working on actual commercial projects alongside the program’s industrial partners.
