ITMO University Joins the Horizon 2020 to Develop MRI
…"Each object has noises — even a table you sit at radiates electromagnetic noise in a wide frequency band. Even a patient’s body and the antenna itself produce noises. These unwanted signals limit the opportunity to receive a low signal. That is why one needs to reach the high rate of coil’s sensitivity, as it would react to changes of an object we want to develop projects related to events. However I think that the right approach is necessary. The current ways of spreading information differ from previous ones — five years ago people bou…

A Different Approach — ITMO’s New Program on Project Management
…startups have opened throughout the country, and large companies develop new innovative products. In most cases, authors of these projects are focused on the idea itself, they want to commercialize it, but don't know how to get it done. As a result, an idea that could bring millions to its authors is never really realized. That is why both fledgling entrepreneu…

Winter Sports in Saint Petersburg
…. And, as with cross country skiing, there’s an alpine skiing section at the KronBars sports club, as well. If learning something new is not what you’re after, and you just want to experience the fun of riding down the slopes, there’s tubing — in Russia, we call the inner tubes you ride "vatrushka's", as they resemble this traditional Russian pie. Tubing is most f…

Tours of CERN, or What to See at the Largest Collider Ever
…s organized tours. A ticket can be booked on the laboratory's website; yet, one will have to wait several months before actually visiting CERN, as there are lots of people who want to see this advanced facility with their own eyes. As of now, more than 20 countries take part in CERN's research; that would be more than 10,000 physicists and engineers from 580 d…

Junction Hackathon — New Solutions for VR Gear
…ntion to contribute to the development of VR technologies and be original. "Coming up with a good idea took some time, as there's already a lot created in the field of VR. We wanted to make the controls more interactive — but how would one do that? Trackers, g-meters, mini-cameras and such are common. Our initial idea was to make facial expressions visible in VR. Ye…

ITMO Fellowship Stories: 'Your Own Way Is not the Easiest One'
…ording to the professor, science doesn’t work without interaction between those who share knowledge and those who acquire it. Communication with students is the main thing. "I want them to learn the general issues through the specifics. So, I always use examples to explain something complicated." Apart from research issues, Mr. Mirabal also talksto students about the…

A Research Student from China on Studying and Life in Russia
…e founded many scientific schools in my country. Secondly, the International Research Center for Nanophotonics and Metamaterials has a strong team of scientists which I really wanted to join. My third reason was personal — my girlfriend went to study in Saint Petersburg, so I followed her here; as of now, we are married. Why did you focus on wireless power transfer …
