ITMO Launches Institute of Applied Mathematics
ITMO University has just opened the doors of its new Institute of Applied Mathematics. Its purpose is to amplify the mathematical training of students in the field of artificial intelligence as well as in associated research and applied projects. In the future, this new structural unit will also provide expertise to other ITMO faculties. Alexey Bobtsov, the head of the School of Computer Technologies and Control, explains why programmers need strong mathematical skills, and what other plans the institute has in store.

Automate Your Coding with OSA – ITMO-Made AI Assistant for Researchers
The recently unveiled Open Source Advisor (OSA) is an LLM-based tool that can “tidy up” open-source research code repositories to make them more accessible to other research teams. Developed by the staff of ITMO University, OSA can help replicate experiments or launch algorithms described in publications. By facilitating the systematization of research data, the tool increases the value of scientific papers. OSA will be equally beneficial to coders and to those wishing to make sense of data acquired by other research teams.

ITMO Researchers Create New Material for Ultrafast Optical Chips and Transistors
An international team of scientists was first to demonstrate that halide perovskites can serve as a base for nonlinear on-chip optical components. As an example, they can be used to build ultrafast optical chips and transistors, and, potentially, other integrated optical systems. Unlike other materials, halide perovskites can operate at room temperature and are inexpensive to produce. The results were published in ACS Nano and supported by the Priority 2030 program.

New Study from ITMO: Waveguides Made Invisible to Each Other in 2D Lattice
Physicists from ITMO and University of Chile have demonstrated mutual invisibility in a waveguide lattice for the first time. With this alignment, adjacent waveguides don’t exchange light: upon entering the lattice, light doesn’t scatter and instead remains a limited area. Conducted with support from the Russian Science Foundation grant No. 24-72-10069, the study was described in a paper published in Nano Letters.
