New areas of scientific cooperation: RUDN held a meeting with representatives of the Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL
TVEL is one of the world’s largest producers of nuclear fuel and the only supplier for all Russian nuclear power plants, ship and research reactors in Russia.
The fuel company is developing non-nuclear business areas: special chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage, digital and additive technologies, decommissioning of nuclear energy facilities.
These promising scientific directions in the field of “peaceful atom” are also being successfully developed at RUDN University. Scientists from the Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Innovative Engineering Technologies, the Institute of Ecology and the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the RUDN University presented their research on the following topics:
- hydrogen production;
- development of technology for converting carbon dioxide into dimethyl carbonate;
- reverse engineering of machine-building metal parts;
- application of composite wear-resistant coatings;
- development of a line of drones using computer vision and AI;
- development of technologies to increase the efficiency of oil production from unconventional reservoirs;
- zeolite catalysts;
- selective catalytic reduction;
- mixed oxides of zirconium, cerium and lanthanum;
- ion exchange materials.
“Today’s meeting became a platform for dialogue and gave us the opportunity to get to know each other better in terms of existing goals, objectives, tools for achieving them, as well as ambitions. We presented projects in both technical and humanitarian fields. The meeting was productive: based on its results, deeper interaction at the expert level is planned to include activities in programs to increase the competitiveness of RUDN graduates,” — Timur Shiyapov, head of the RUDN Technology Transfer Center.
On February 16, the State Historical Museum hosted a presentation of the book by Boris Yakemenko, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of History of Russia at RUDN University.
Vadim Pokrovsky, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Head of the Department of Biochemistry named after Academician T.T. Berezov of the RUDN Medical Institute was awarded the Moscow Government Prize in the “Medical Sciences” category. The award was given for a series of works devoted to the study of the mechanisms of action and antitumor activity of enzymes that destroy amino acids.
The project and publication “USSR-100: reconstruction of history and anniversary”, its authors became laureates of the National Award “Best Books, Publishing Houses, Projects”. One of the authors is Elena Kotelenets, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Department of History of Russia at RUDN University.
