• ITMO Scientist’s Thesis Named Best at the Australian National University

  ITMO University scientist Alexey Slobozhanyuk has been proclaimed the winner of the Jagadishwar Mahanty Prize. Established by the Australian National University (ANU), this annual award is given to the researcher with the best PhD thesis defended in the School of Physics and Engineering of this university. As part of his studies on the joint ITMO University-ANU PhD program, the young scientist researched metamaterials and application of their unique properties in the development of innovative devices of the future, such as highly effective MRI coils and next-generation optical electronic systems. It is this work that was recognized by the prestigious 2018 Prize. In this interview with ITMO.NEWS, Alexey expounds on the prospects for his research field and his experience of doing fundamental and applied research at the same time.

• New Non-Linear Metasurface Changes Basic Properties of Light

  An international research team has produced the first-ever dielectric metasurfaces for nonlinear light conversion. Using these structures, scientists have been able to convert infrared radiation into visible light. They have also been able to implement additional functions: an ability to deflect light at a specific angle and to change the light polarization. Kirill Koshelev, a researcher at the Nanophotonics and Metamaterials Laboratory and one of the study’s authors, spoke to ITMO.NEWS about the project and the significance of its results.
