Paving the Way to Next-Gen Devices: Your Guide to Metaphotonics
It's rare for fields like physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science to function in isolation, most scientific breakthroughs these days involve an interdisciplinary approach. Metaphotonics is one of such field that has the potential to revolutionize traditional views of optical and electronic devices. How? In this article, ITMO’s Sergey Makarov, head of the Laboratory of Hybrid Nanophotonics and Optoelectronics and the frontier laboratory Solution-Processable Laser Diodes, and Ivan Sinev, a researcher at the International Research Center for Nanophotonics and Metamaterials help us discover this nascent field.

Researchers Propose New Multipolar Lattices for Improved Metasurfaces
Scientists from ITMO University’s Faculty of Physics have predicted a unique type of bound states in the continuum – one that is completely resistant to changes in the system parameters. This would allow researchers to control the resonance properties of metasurfaces and, eventually, to develop more efficient optical and optoelectronic devices of the next generation. The corresponding paper received special recognition from the editors of Physical Review B (Letter) and was published in the section Editor’s Suggestion.

ITMO.EduLeaders Winner Andrey Kudlis on Why Study Physics
Physics is good for your mind, believes Andrey Kudlis, a junior researcher at ITMO’s School of Physics and Engineering. He became interested in science when he was still in 10th grade and then he decided to devote his life to it. Now, Andrey is a researcher and a physics lecturer who helps his students immerse into the world of science from the very start. Not so long ago, he developed a project that lets students study various phenomena experimentally and learn how to write papers for top-rated international journals. The project was highly acclaimed by the expert board of the ITMO.EduLeaders contest. ITMO.NEWS talked to Andrey Kudlis to learn more about what he does to motivate his students and how science applies to everyday life.

ITMO Fellow Stanislav Baturin On Megascience Installations and Spinning Particles
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the most powerful particle accelerator in the world. It allows researchers to study particle physics at the highest energy levels available to accelerators. Stanislav Baturin has been working in the field of particle physics at Russian and American universities for many years. Last year, he joined the ITMO Fellowship & Professorship program and the team of the university’s Faculty of Physics. At ITMO, Stanislav is collaborating with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) located in Dubna, Moscow Oblast, on a project devoted to the physics of spinning particles. In March, the researcher will also teach an optional course on megascience-class installations. In this interview, he told us why researchers accelerate spinning particles and what to expect from his new course.

ITMO Edu.Stars Winner Anton Starovoytov on Teaching Lab Classes Online
Anton Starovoytov started teaching as a PhD student. Now he is the vice dean of ITMO’s Faculty of Photonics and a researcher at the university’s International Research and Educational Center for Physics of Nanostructures. He also develops educational projects, such as virtual simulations of physical equipment for lab projects on nonlinear optics, which will make such equipment more accessible. Last year, Anton Starovoytov was named one of the winners of the ITMO.EduStars contest. Read on to learn about organizing online lab projects in optics and how to manage to do everything you’ve planned.

ITMO Physicists Prove Feasibility of Non-Radiating States in Compact Acoustic Resonators: New Discovery Will Benefit Development of Acoustic Antennas and Sensors
Researchers from ITMO University’s Faculty of Physics have succeeded in disproving a non-existence theorem which states that oscillations in open resonance systems must fade out by radiating energy into the surrounding medium. The physicists were able to calculate the shapes of acoustic resonators for which this theorem would not apply. In the resulting system, the energy of oscillations does not radiate into the surrounding space and remains within the resonator. Results of this research will facilitate the development of acoustic antennas and sensors.

ITMO.EduStars Winner Svetlana Kurashova: “To Me, Teaching is a Source of Joy”
Svetlana Kurashova, a physics lecturer at ITMO University, became interested in this field as a child and worked towards becoming a professional since school. After graduating from Leningrad State University (now St. Petersburg State University), she joined ITMO and has been teaching physics here for 28 years. Last year, she received an ITMO.EduStars award as one of the university’s best lecturers. We asked her what kind of a person a lecturer should be, which Leningrad State University traditions she still cherishes, and how science and arts are related.
