• How Algorithms Help Design Drugs: ITMO Graduate Aleksandr Sadovnikov On Developing Bioinformatics Software

  …an create a replacement for this protein that would bind the necessary proteins and therefore cure people from hemophilia. In essence, these two examples are about molecular interactions and their structure. This structure can be predicted using computational means. I develop an algorithm for this purpose. And how does it work? In the initial approximation, …

• ITMO Student Alexander Berestennikov Becomes Recipient of Zhores Alferov Scholarship

  … Regular nanostructures and waveguides always contain some kinds of defects. The result is that these photonic structures suffer from optical losses due to the scattering and refraction at corners, curves, and defects. If we create a special metamaterial – a topological insulator – we can achieve a complete lack of scattering and wave decay. Another curious pro…
