The Polytechnic University hosted an awards ceremony for the university staff and the Scientific and Production Association of Special Materials who participated in the renovation Auditorium No. 159 in the Main Building.
The auditorium is named after the outstanding physicist, world-class specialist in materials science and metallurgy, professor, and doctor of technical sciences Elena Fedorovna Silnikova.
SPbPU Academic Secretary Dmitry Karpov spoke about her biography and scientific achievements in his welcoming speech.
In 1961, she graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Polytechnic Institute, and in 1967, she entered full-time graduate school in the Department of Plastic Processing of Metals. Under the guidance of Professor Vasily Smirnov, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Elena Fedorovna had already established a new direction in materials science, applying the physical theory of plastic deformation to metal forming problems.
After defending her PhD dissertation, Elena Fedorovna turned to research into the structure, properties, and texture formation during the production of various metals and alloys. The results of her work in the field of metal physics and materials science formed the basis for her doctoral dissertation and the research papers of her many students.
Starting today, our young scientists will be able to study the results of Professor Silnikova's research, including in this wonderful auditorium, Dmitry Karpov emphasized.
The awards from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University were presented by Stanislav Vladimirov, Vice-Rector for Organizational and Economic Affairs, and Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office and Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation.
For his significant contribution to the university's development, Mikhail Silnikov, General Director and General Designer of the Scientific and Production Association of Special Materials, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Honorary Graduate of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, and a 1985 graduate of the Physics and Mechanics Faculty, was awarded the "For Merit" badge and a letter of gratitude.
Nikita Silnikov, First Deputy General Director of NPO SpetsMaterialov and a 2012 graduate of the Physics and Mechanics Department, was also awarded the "For Merit" badge and a letter of gratitude. He was also presented with a copy of his personal file.
