Students of the Academy of Engineering present research in the field of construction and nanotechnology in Kazakhstan
For the second year, under the guidance of associate professor, Ph.D. Galina Okolnikova, graduate students Georgy Tikhonov and Grigory Grishin have been engaged in research at RUDN at the junction of two priority areas - construction and nanotechnology. In the laboratories of the Engineering Academy, they study characteristics of modified concrete - nano-concrete. In 2018, both students became participants of the “RUDN International Scholarship” academic mobility support program, which allowed them to expand their knowledge and gain new experience from leading scientists at the University of Al-Farabi KazNU (Kazakhstan). Internship in Almaty was not limited to lectures and practical modules. They presented the results of their research in poster presentations at the International Conference "Problems of Technological Combustion", where they were praised by the competent jury. The chairman of the jury was Zulhair Mansurov, winner of the UNESCO award for his contribution to the development of nanoscience and natotechnology.
The research is devoted to the study of manufacturing technology of valves with a new four-row sickle profile AV500P. It is able to compete in foreign markets with expensive screw fittings. In quality, this class of reinforcement is not inferior to foreign analogues, and in production it is much more economical, because standard rolling equipment may be used. The armature has already been rolled at the Tula Metal Rolling Plant and the West Siberian Metallurgical Plant in the city of Novokuznetsk.
Students’ internship at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University lasted a month. During this time, they were able to replenish their knowledge with relevant information, visit laboratories of research institutes, such as the Kazakhstan Road Research Institute and the Institute for Problems in Combustion, and demonstrate the results of their scientific work. Full of new impressions and experiences, they plan to continue their research at RUDN.
Alena Devyaterikova is the first in our country to study the features of the development of cognitive and visual-motor functions in preschool children who have had oncology. For this research, a researcher at the Laboratory of Neuropsychology of the Research Institute for Brain Development and Higher Achievements of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia became a laureate of the Medal of the Russian Academy of Education “Young Scientist for Success in Science”. The award ceremony took place on November 24 at the press center of the Russia Today media group.
RUDN University took part in the exposition of the Moscow NAUKA 0+ Festival at the Expocentre, the largest popular science platform in 2022 in terms of the number of activities. The University was represented by the Faculty of Science, the Agrarian and Techological Institute, the Institute of Ecology, the Institute of Biochemical Technology and Nanotechnology, the Medical Institute, the Higher School of Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship, and the university admissions team.
October 8, RUDN University students and 800 schoolchildren set off on a journey through the diverse world of university science. 2 halls, 11 classrooms and a co-working zone — the Science Festival was all over the main building. In addition to the traditional interactive exhibition, RUDN researchers held 26 new format events: short half-hour non-stop master classes.
