ITMO Grad's Journey From Student to Kaspersky Lab Developer
…sure that people who worked on the same projects would work in the same office, and not be scattered around (located in several cities). So, my team and I were assigned to the Non-functional Testing Department, and my boss simply asked me to take over the role of the team leader. At first, when you realize that you are responsible for everyone, you do not distribute …

ITMO Graduate’s Project Wins Lexus Design Award
…ople with only one hand are quite narrow a target audience, I got the idea to make the project good for not just them, but anyone. In other words, the carving board had to be both functional and attractive, so that everyone would want one. Why not turn people’s capabilities into opportunities? So, we expanded the target audience. Many people like talking on the ph…

"Travel Is The Key To A Career In Science": Biophotonics Specialist Maria Borovkova On How To Be Successful, While Studying And Working In Three Countries
… out light signals to biological samples and analyze the light that comes out, and thus, has interacted with their structure. I conduct such experiments both in transmission and reflection modes. I then analyze the properties of light, which change after interaction with the sample: radiation intensity, spectral composition, polarizatio…

Physics Is No Longer To Explain The World, Rather Predict Its Future
… speed, the mass of fuel this spaceship has to emit will be several times greater than the mass of the galaxy. About the film "Into The Universe with Stephen Hawking. Lucky Imperfection" in general I did not discover any new physics in this film. All the physics used in this film I studied back at school. This is a very alarming, if not unfortunate fact. As for…

Gravity Waves and Graphene: How Nobel-Winning Research Moves Humanity Forward
…ing about the Earth and its “close” surroundings, like the Solar system. Its point is simple: massive bodies are attracted towards each other, meaning that gravity is a force of attraction. But even Newton himself understood that it’s not all quite that simple. This force must be instant and far-ranging to spread through the vacuum of space. As research accumulated, …

Fabio Bagarello on Quantum Computing and Importance of Interdisciplinary Research
…um computers should help in solving this issue of size vs. power. Some of ITMO’s laboratories conduct a lot of research on predictive modeling: of crowd behavior, spreading of infections and other processes. How will quantum computing affect the operation of such models? It’s hard to say now, because we do not have any operational quantum computers yet. So, we …

Researchers Use Glass Microparticles to Enhance Solar Cell Efficiency
…An entire range of materials can be used today for solar cell production. Solar cells based on amorphous silicon, for instance, are thin transparent films that may be applied to any surface – including a window pane. When it comes to manufacturing solar cells, it is crucial to find ways to diminish light reflection from cells and avoid …
