Khan Saim Ali, a student in the International Business program at the Higher School of Industrial Management at the Institute of Mechanics and Technology (IPMET) at SPbPU, won the nuclear-themed project competition at the Obninsk Tech Winter School 2026. His team took first place in the Atomic Triathlon, a competition combining scientific, engineering, and management challenges.
The Winter School was held at the Obninsk Institute of Atomic Energy of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI as part of the Obninsk.Tech International Scientific and Educational Center project, with the participation of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom. The program aimed to deepen knowledge in the energy and non-energy applications of nuclear technology: participants attended interactive lectures, practical classes, and master classes with leading industry experts.
Participating in the winter school was a unique opportunity to immerse myself in cutting-edge technologies and build bridges between business and the nuclear industry. I am grateful for the opportunity to develop in an interdisciplinary environment. Our team took first place in the Atomic Triathlon, which was a unique experience. This wasn't a typical competition, but a contest consisting of three stages of scientific work and design, including various engineering and mathematical tasks. Our dedicated teamwork led us to victory! — shares Khan Saim Ali.
