Researcher Oleg Borisov on Being a PI and Creating Robot Dogs in Russia
…working with five PhD students. I moved forward in my career quite naturally. Collaboration is an integral part of research: take scientific communities or conferences, for instance. One way or another, a researcher’s work comes down to interacting with colleagues and instructing students. When I studied, I kept hearing that collabor…

ITMO's Monday Science Roundup #16
…Research Insulator breakthrough The staff of one of ITMO’s frontier laboratories have unveiled a new approach to the production of photonic topological insulators. Unlike existing variants, their option is capable of changing its properties depending on the researchers’ needs. These advanced structures should prove instance, they make it possible to conduct safe and relatively inexpensive diagnostics and visualization of processes in human tissues,” explains Mikhail Rybin, t…

Unexplored St. Petersburg: Petrovsky Island
…. Walking down the prospekt, you’ll see gracious apartment buildings peacefully neighboring wooden dachas or abandoned factories that ruled the land centuries ago. There are ruins of the Hoth Rope Factory, with the owner's mansion still intact and even restored. At the far end is an example of Classical architecture – a yellow palace built at the beginning of the 20t…

Bright Ideas: ITMO Researchers’ Dynamic Nanostructure Achieves 35x Light Amplification
…he structure of systems at the nano-scale allows researchers to change their optical properties. “These days, a nanostructure is unlikely to change once manufactured. For instance, if we make an array of nanocylinders we won’t be able to change it in any way later. Our goal here was to develop a dynamic nanostructure that can change its response or state based o…

ITMO Researchers Develop Novel Strategy to Tailor Photonic Topological Insulators
…Photonic topological insulators are artificial crystalline structures that allow light propagation along their edges and block it in the bulk. Due to their symmetries, such structures are resistant to defects. The first examples of photonic topological insulators required a magnetic field to function, which made experiments bulky and co…

Highlights of National PROF-IT Forum: Helping School Students Define Their IT Futures
…will get to develop their solutions in teams while getting to know their potential future employers. “Employers have to be able to create positions fit for students – for instance, where they can spend 10 hours at the office per week for a small salary while the company gets a bonus from the government. This would be a wonderful way for students to gain experien…
