• Creating Quartz-Based Nanocomposites: ITMO’s New International Collaboration

  ITMO University in collaboration with Jean Monnet University (France) will develop composite nanostructures for creating "laboratories-on-a-chip", new optical memory devices, and such. Porous glass will be used as a base for these nanostructures — scientists will add different substances and use lasers to create composites with various properties. The international research team will also continue the research on the effects of different modes of laser's operation on composites, which is essential for getting particular properties. The project will be carried out at the expense of the grant of the Federal Targeted Program "Research and Development in Priority Areas of Development of the Russian Scientific and Technological Complex for 2014−2020".

• A Taste for Science: Why the State Is Eager To Finance Universities' Fundamental Research?

  According to representatives of St. Petersburg's leading universities, the Ministry of Education and Science has started to issue governmental orders with regard to the university's interests in fundamental research. This is by no way accidental, as each real result implies years of theoretical work. As of now, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and ITMO University have acquired governmental support for 32 promising projects. ITMO University got funding as part of governmental orders on R&D in the field of photonics, chemistry and cyberphysics — 101 million rubles total. What is more, eight of the university's projects were financed as the base part of the governmental order, which means that the university can distribute them independently.

• ITMO Scientists Gets the Presidential Grant on Studying Quasiparticles

  At the end of November, Valentin Milichko, an Associate Professor for the Department of Nanophotonics and Metamaterials has received the Presidential Grant. Now, the scientist has two years to find experimental evidence of the effect of light on excitons in metal-organic crystals. Simply put, if this research is a success, it will not be long before a new generation of computers based on optical transistors will be developed.

• Grants of 2016: ITMO Gets 90 Millions on Hybrid Light-Matter States Research

  ITMO University won the Ministry of Education and Science's grant for researching hybrid light-matter states in low-dimensional quantum materials that can be applied in optical information transfer and optical calculations. Professor Maurice Skolnick from University of Sheffield and Ivan Shelykh, head of ITMO's "Photoprocesses in mesoscopic systems" international laboratory will act as research directors.
