• ITMO PhD Student ‪Pavel Tonkaev‬ on His Path to Science and Applied Nanophotonics

  …s.  How are perovskites used in photonics? I mainly deal with applied nanophotonics, namely, I’m interested in how resonant structures can be used to enhance light-matter interaction. Potentially, the outcome of my research might find its application in the future when people have more opportunities for controlling light at the nanoscale. Once we do, we will be…

  … a considerable database of specific DNA variants associated with heightened risks of certain diseases. However, with GWAS it’s impossible to identify the particular genes that malfunction and cause a body-wide collapse. GWAS is limited by microchip-based genotyping that can only pinpoint a genome’s loci associated with a disease – and these loci can include dozens o…
