Sensor systems based on optical technologies, equipped with information processing nodes, including those based on machine learning, created based on the physics of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation in the visible, infrared, terahertz and ultraviolet ranges with micro- and nano-structures, as well as materials, components, and methods in this field, are the objects of the master's professional activity. who will choose to study under the Master's degree program "Opto- and Nanoelectronics, Nanosystem Engineering".
Our program trains engineers for research, design, and production activities working with components and devices in the fields of nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and analytical instrumentation.
Upon joining us, students will learn how to create and work with sensor systems, become developers and experts in the field of physics of nanostructures, nanomaterials, quantum sensors and organic optoelectronics, as well as in the field of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with micro- and nanostructures.
This program is for those who are interested in creating new technologies and analytical equipment for solving problems in ecology, biology, medicine and safety based on optics and optoelectronics, ensuring Russia's technological sovereignty.
Let's look at the topics of this year's and last year's master's theses. For example, Polina Vilyuzhanina defended her thesis project on "The study of photoluminescence of color centers in hexagonal boron nitride" with an excellent grade. The work directly concerns the creation of promising materials for quantum technologies – quantum computing and quantum sensors. Polina is going to graduate school.
Semyon Fadeev's thesis project "Detection of nitro compounds using terahertz metamaterials" concerns the development of technology for non-destructive optical inspection in the invisible terahertz range for the presence of dangerous and prohibited substances for the creation of transport safety systems. This is a very popular topic that takes control technology to a new level.
Another example is Kirill Shishin's graduation project: "Adaptation of neural network technology analyzing the signal of an airborne optical flow cytometer to separate complex aerosol compositions." This project, which combines modern artificial intelligence technologies and the analysis of the luminescence of individual aerosol particles carrying biopathogens in the mode of counting single photons, is being implemented as part of the work on the development of biological hazard monitoring systems. Such systems are in demand and are already operating at airports in our country, at pharmaceutical plants, in animal husbandry, and in crowded places.
In general, the topics of scientific research within the framework of students' research work are very wide and include modern analytical techniques for integrated security, sensors and sensor systems based on various physical principles, systems based on organic semiconductors and semiconductor nanoparticles for new-generation solar cells and LEDs, the interaction of terahertz radiation with matter and radio vision systems, metamaterials, as well as numerous applied topics of the program's partner organizations.
In two years of study, students will master such disciplines as "Fundamentals of organic Optoelectronics and Nanoelectronics", "Nanophotonics", "Nanooptics and Nanomaterials", "Physics and Sensor Technology", "Special Workshop on Nanosystems", "Physical methods of special electronic instrumentation", "Experimental methods of nanostructure research", "Statistical methods in electronics", "Organization and design in research and development work", which will be able to apply in their professional activities.
Given that artificial intelligence is increasingly taking over the routine part of human work, those who can creatively approach the work of creating new devices and technologies will be in demand in the labor market. We train undergraduates not just engineers, and not even research engineers. We train creative engineers who are able to go through a full innovative path - from a physical idea and experiment to the industrial production of sought-after devices.
Some undergraduates will be able to work in real production of devices with decent pay in parallel with their studies.
After completing their studies, masters will be able to work at commercial enterprises - developers, distributors and operators of devices, sensor systems and analytical equipment, program partners (Modus, Yuzhpolymetallholding, Diagnostics-M (TSNK Laboratory), Avesta, Labtest, Inista, Archip, Troitskiy Engineering Center, Biotechlab, M-wave and others, in government organizations-developers and manufacturers in the field of special instrumentation and special materials (Rostec enterprises, Shvabe Holding), in research institutes of special equipment, in institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and industry research centers.
Come and study with us, it's in demand by the market and just interesting!
