Visit to the RUDN University of the invited professor Syuzanna Harutyunyan
13 November, 2017 Syuzanna Harutyunyan, Professor, Doctor of Stratingh Institute for Chemistry of Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Groningen, Netherlands, author of more than 50 works in the field of catalysis, Recipient of the Royal Society of Chemistry Homogeneous Catalysis Award (2017), Recipient of the KNCV Gold Medal (2016) told the lecture «Copper catalysed enantioselective synthesis of functional molecules: control over selectivity and reactivity» for students, postgraduate students and staff of the Faculty of Science.
Research program of Professor Harutyunyan’s group is aimed at the development of novel catalysis concepts for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral functional molecules. In 2011 her group introduced an entirely new role for Cu (I)-based catalysts, facilitating highly enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions between organometallics and enolisable carbonyl as well as imine compounds. Following this initial discovery, they established Cu(I)-catalysis, in combination with Lewis acids/Grignard reagent, as a powerful tool to tackle the reactivity of inherently unreactive substrates for carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. In this lecture brilliant scientist will focus on how we can use these concepts to access highly demanded and valuable chiral heteroarenes and amides, as well as tertiary alcohols and amines, in catalytic and enantioselective fashion and mechanistic studies.
On November 23, 2022, at the invitation of the Department of Foreign Languages of Agrarian and Technological Institute, within the framework of the scientific and methodological seminar “Linguistic methodological foundations of the formation of a translator’s ‘secondary language personality’ and the creation of modern educational complexes,” Mario Pace, Resident Associate Professor of Italian at the Department of Languages and Humanities in Education within the Faculty of Education of the University of Malta, language consultant to the Minister of Education and Employment on foreign language teaching & learning. Delivered an online lecture “Languages and translation in the context of interlanguage communication” (“Languages and translation in the context of intercultural communication”). More than 80 RUDN and the Russian-Armenian University (RAU, Yerevan) participants joined the online lecture on the Microsoft Teams platform. The working language — English.
Zurab Khabadze, Head of the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry at RUDN University, improved his qualifications with Dr. Lorenzo Vanini. It was Lorenzo Vanini who founded the anatomical stratification method and created the ENAMEL Plus HRi dental material system. The topic of the course is “Stratification and osteopathic approach to patients”.
A scientific seminar “Toward Sustainable Development: Modern Tools and Approaches” was held at RUDN University. The participants were representatives and scientists of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the University of Sri Jayawardenepura (Sri Lanka), the Eurasian National University named after L. N. Gumilyov (Kazakhstan) and RUDN.
