Stanford University's updated 2024 World's Top 2% Scientists ranking includes 13 Novosibirsk State University scientists (full-time and part-time employees who indicate their affiliation with NSU in their publications). The ranking annually analyzes their citation impact and scientific activity to identify the most influential researchers in their fields.

The ranking represents the top 2% of the world's most cited scientists according to the Scopus/Elsevier core. The composite c-score indicator takes into account the total number of citations, the h-index, the hm-index adjusted for co-authorship, and the order of co-authors. The ranking was compiled without taking into account self-citations and was based on standardized indicators for each field of science.

Citation impact was assessed across 22 research areas and 174 sections according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. The work of millions of researchers worldwide was analyzed; the ranking contains a list of over 230,000 scientists. Impact indicators were calculated for the scientist's entire career and for the past year. Many NSU part-time researchers are listed in the ranking as employees of SB RAS institutes; therefore, the NSU list could have been significantly broader.

The 2024 ranking for the entire career of a scientist included (as representatives of NSU):

Over the past five years, the scale of NSU's in-house research activities has grown to a level comparable to its educational activities, and science and research are now the university's second core activity. One indicator confirming this is the high publication activity of NSU scientists. Thus, by the end of 2024, more than 1,760 publications had been published in SCOPUS journals, more than 1,300 in Web of Science, and more than 1,970 in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Moreover, the share of publications in the most prestigious and highly ranked scientific journals (Q1 and Q2 SCOPUS) was approximately 60%. The number of citations in SCOPUS reached almost 2,000. Importantly, since 2018, the number of NSU's own publications (without co-authorship with employees of SB RAS research institutes) has increased by 30%, and now they account for approximately 20% of the total number of publications with NSU participation. The inclusion of 13 NSU researchers on the list of the world's most highly cited scientists demonstrates that NSU is working in cutting-edge areas and at a high international level, commented NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.

On September 27, the "After Classes" student association fair was held at NSU's academic building. The event brought together numerous clubs and students, who were able to learn about the university's extracurricular activities and choose the ones that best suit their interests.

The hallways of the second floor of the second block were noisy and lively: student groups presented their projects on interactive platforms, and during breaks, guests were treated to musical flash mobs from the NSU Music Club. Fairgoers socialized, participated in activities, and received souvenirs.

Creative groups generated particular interest. The KvARTira Theatre Studio presented interactive performances.

"We're currently planning several public performances and an expressive poetry reading. We're generally involved in contemporary theater arts: we stage productions based on our own scripts, and during our classes, we offer training in movement, vocals, and acting in general," said studio member Sergei Bobkin.

Another station, the NSU Photo Club, attracted attention with two formats at once: a photo drying station and a photo zone.

"The Photo Club is a place where people who love photography gather. It doesn't matter whether you're using a phone or a professional camera—the desire to improve your skills is paramount. We host photo walks, field trips, and, for beginners, lectures on the basics of photography. At "After Class," anyone can hang their work to dry, appreciate others' photos, or have a portrait taken in our photo zone," shared club member Ksenia Sharova.

Additionally, student associations offered quizzes, pantomime, and even accordion playing. All of this gave first-year students and others the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the NSU student community and discover new hobbies.

"After School" isn't just about getting to know the clubs, it's also an opportunity to discover talents, share ideas, and try new things.

On September 26, the new NSU classroom building, part of the second phase of NSU's campus construction, hosted the first "Career Graduation." Graduates of the Class of 2025 had the opportunity to meet with representatives of partner companies and participate in career consultations, where they presented their resumes and received feedback from employers. In turn, the companies shared information about opportunities in the labor market and expanded their candidate database. The event was organized by the NSU Career Development Center.

Representatives from SHIFT, the Siberian Center of FIPS, True Engineering, T-Bank, 2GIS, and other major companies took part in the event.

Daria Kanivets of the IT company True Engineering noted that NSU graduates are of particular interest to employers:

We're especially interested in students with technical backgrounds: they already have a solid theoretical foundation and even practical experience. Of course, soft skills are also important—a desire to learn, communication skills, and the ability to build relationships in a team. Even a highly skilled technical specialist will struggle without these qualities. You can also apply for a position with us without experience: part-time opportunities are available for students. We also offer internships that are immediately linked to real-world projects—under the guidance of a mentor, students gain their first professional experience and gradually become independent professionals.

The company's interviews consist of several stages: an initial HR assessment, a technical assessment (including practical assignments), and a final meeting at the office. Applicants were provided with guidance on resume writing and skill development—both technical and communication and creative.

Students also note the value of communicating with employers. Anna Murashkina, a graduate of the Fundamental and Applied Linguistics program at the NSU Humanities Institute, shared her impressions:

I'm currently interning in Data Science and want to grow in this field. I'd like to learn how to stand out from the crowd and write a great resume.

At the end of the event, Svetlana Dovgal, Director of the NSU Career Development Center, noted:

About a hundred of our students received assistance with resume writing and interviews. NSU graduates are always highly motivated in their job searches and are in high demand among employers. Our partner companies also really liked the new format, the new building, and our students.

The "Career Graduation" not only provided students with an opportunity to better prepare for future employment, but also confirmed the high level of interest employers show in NSU graduates.

A team of researchers from NSU has created a new environmentally friendly building material that could potentially replace traditional cement. The first prototypes are already ready, and plans call for industrial production of the new material. The project, led by a graduate student, Faculty of Geology and Geophysics Stepan Denisov, a professor at NSU's Department of Geology and Geophysics, "Development of a Single-Component Binding Material Based on Industrial Ash and Slag Waste," won the federal Student Startup competition. The amount of support provided for the coming year will amount to 1 million rubles.

The project is unique in that the new building material is made entirely from industrial waste, specifically coal ash—the residue generated by the combustion of solid fuels (coal, peat, and oil shale) in thermal power plants, boiler houses, and other industrial installations. Thus, waste that had accumulated in landfills for years, polluting the environment, is transformed into a useful, high-quality construction product.

"The project's idea arose at the intersection of two major issues. First, there's the waste problem: Russia has accumulated approximately 2 billion tons of ash and slag waste alone, and it's growing by 60 million tons every year. Only a small portion—about 15%—is recycled. These waste dumps occupy vast areas. Second, there's the environmental issue of the cement industry: conventional cement production is a highly energy-intensive process, accounting for approximately 8% of all global CO₂ emissions. Our project addresses both issues simultaneously: recycling waste and simultaneously creating a "green" alternative to cement, reducing the carbon footprint," explained Stepan Denisov.

Work on the project began over a year ago and is being conducted at the NSU Climate Center. The scientific director, responsible for the overall development and also a member of the startup team, is Georgy Lazarenko, PhD, Director of the NSU Climate Center. The startup team also includes Matvey Trutnev, a master's student at the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics, Dmitry Goryainov, a PhD student at the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics, and Yakov Ermolov, PhD, in Engineering.

A laboratory technology has now been developed, and the first prototypes of the material have been produced. The technology consists of ash and slag, crushed into powder, mixed with special activators. Then, when mixed with water, a chemical reaction—geopolymerization—is initiated. The result is a durable stone with properties similar to cement, but with its own advantages.

Preliminary tests of samples have already been conducted, the results of which have shown that in terms of such indicators as strength and water absorption, the new material fully complies with the stated requirements.

"In terms of strength (50 MPa), it is comparable to high-grade M500 cements, and its frost resistance can reach 300 cycles. Furthermore, the product has low water absorption (less than 5%), while most competitors' rates range from 5% to 18%. Furthermore, it offers flexible setting times—from 5 minutes to 7 hours—covering both quick repairs and standard construction needs. At the same time, its cost is among the lowest on the market, competing with standard M300-M400 Portland cements while offering the quality and properties of significantly more expensive specialized materials," added Stepan Denisov.

Similar materials to this material currently available on the market are so-called geopolymer binders, which are produced both in Russia and abroad. However, the key advantages of the material developed at NSU are its price and environmental friendliness, achieved through the use of 100% ash as a raw material and complete waste recycling.

The development will find application in various construction sectors—anywhere cement is used—for floor screeds, bricklaying, plastering, building block production, etc. Potential users include large industrial enterprises addressing waste disposal issues, as well as construction companies and individuals seeking a more affordable and environmentally friendly material.

The funds the team receives from the Student Startup competition will be used to conduct further, more in-depth testing of samples against all construction standards (frost resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.), purchase the necessary reagents and materials, patent the design, and manufacture the first batch of prototypes in commercial packaging (5, 10, and 25 kg bags). Future plans include launching industrial production of the construction mixture and processing up to 100,000 tons of ash and slag per year.

From September 1st to 25th, Novosibirsk State University and the House of Scientists in Akademgorodok hosted the ninth annual "Metamorphoses of Culture" event, organized by the Department of History, Culture, and Arts. Humanitarian Institute (GI) NSU.

Each year, the organizers come up with a new theme for the event, one that will be relatable to many and encompass a broad range of history. This year, "Metamorphoses of Culture" focused on the era of Alexander Pushkin.

"At our event, we're discussing the Pushkin era, covering literature, education, criticism, and much more. Pushkin is a timeless classic! And we strive to adapt to modern realities and present information in a vibrant and engaging way. For example, we had a lecture by Maria Sergeevna Berendeyeva, where we discussed Pushkin's portrayal in cinema. A great many films have been based on his works, and how many are dedicated to him! We held a closing lecture-concert, "Music against the backdrop of the era: A.S. Pushkin and M.I. Glinka." Maria Aleksandrovna Timofeeva delivered the lecture and simultaneously played the piano, performing works by Glinka, a contemporary of Pushkin," commented Victoria Vybornova, PhD in History and assistant professor in the Department of History, Culture, and Arts at the Novosibirsk State University Institute of History.

The lecturers included leading scholars and distinguished teachers from scientific and educational institutions in Novosibirsk and Moscow. Anna and Marina Sidorov were invited speakers from the State Archives of the Russian Federation. They shared their insights into the process of publishing sources and the challenges they face when working with them. For example, the lecture "Benckendorff: A Portrait Against the Background of an Era" described how the military leader's diary and letters, written in various languages, were translated. The key to translation is not only to convey the beauty and style of the original but also to preserve the author's intended meaning.

"Today I gave a lecture on the image of Alexander Sergeevich in cinema. My professional interests are as a linguist, but I also study polycode texts, that is, texts that combine different sign systems. Wine is a prime example of such a polycode text, so I have some expertise in certain aspects of cinema. I'm very pleased to see so many people in the audience today. This means that Pushkin's work still holds interest; it attracts and excites people, which is wonderful," shared Maria Berendeyeva, PhD in Philology, Associate Professor in the Department of History of Culture and Arts, and Senior Researcher at the Heritage Research and Educational Center at the Novosibirsk State University Institute of Geography.

Schoolchildren from nearby schools, students, young researchers, teachers and university professors were able to attend the lectures.

"The main audience is, of course, philologists and historians, but it's also nice to see mathematicians, physicists, and economists. We have interested students from various departments, because Alexander Sergeevich is a classic. I recently conducted a seminar at the Institute of Intelligent Robotics at NSU, and one boy recited an excerpt from 'The Song of the Prophetic Oleg' to me. Despite everyone's different specialties, a love of poetry lives within us all," added Victoria Vybornova.

Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies Novosibirsk State University (IMMT NSU) held the first organizational meeting as part of the "Promising Researchers in Biomedicine" talent pool program. The event brought together approximately 30 young researchers—IMMT students, residents, and postgraduate students—as well as leading scientists and project mentors.

Yulia Samoylova, Director of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies, opened the event by congratulating the program participants. Particular emphasis was placed on modern technological challenges and the personal development of specialists.

"The new program will help young scientists realize their research potential and move them closer to earning a PhD, which will ultimately provide promising talent for the rapidly developing institute," emphasized Yulia Samoylova.

Irina Sergeeva, Director of the Center for Postgraduate Medical Education at the Institute of Medical and Mathematical Technologies (IMMT) of NSU, made a strong impression. The topics of medical science development and artificial intelligence were touched upon. The researcher selects databases, AI training examples, and the required query, and this choice determines the outcome.

"The researcher remains a key figure in any case. Our researchers have a very high level of practical potential, and it is they who will be responsible for creating medical clinical guidelines in the future," Irina Sergeeva is confident. "Treatment according to clinical guidelines ≠ Creating clinical guidelines."

At the meeting, the program's strategic goals were announced, which go far beyond simply training personnel.

In her speech, Natalia Zhivtsova, Director of Organizational Development and Human Resources at NSU, emphasized that the program's main goal is to develop medical researchers, equipping them with the necessary competencies not only for publishing articles but also for full integration into the scientific community. Particular attention was paid to developing communication skills, as modern science, especially in biomedicine, is impossible without effective teamwork.

The program includes a number of educational modules supervised by leading NSU specialists who also participated in the meeting:

— Pavel Geidt will give a series of lectures on the methodology of scientific research, including the study of data analysis and biostatistics; — Sergey Kononov will devote lectures to scientometrics, the analysis of scientific activity, the selection of scientific publications, and much more.

Sofia Glushkova's planned training sessions, dedicated to developing "soft" skills, attracted particular attention.

The NSU Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics (IMMT) Human Resources Program is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach, allowing participants to explore the intersections of various disciplines—from molecular biology to clinical practice. This approach is in demand in the scientific world today, as many significant discoveries are made at the intersection of different disciplines.

Egor Gild, the program director, summed up the event:

"This meeting made it clear that our program is not just a training course, but a comprehensive support system for young scientists, helping them acquire key competencies and skills for full immersion in the scientific community.

The project is being implemented within the framework of the federal program "Priority 2030" and is aimed at retaining talented young people at the university after graduation.

Artem Zavadko, a master's student at the NSU Advanced Engineering School, is developing a mobile system for searching for residual oil reserves, which are a crucial reserve for increasing oil production in Russia. A prototype of the device is already ready, and over the next year it will be modified, software for processing and interpreting the data will be developed, and testing will begin—first at geophysical testing sites and then at operating fields. The project was one of the winners of the federal "Student Startup" competition from the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises and received a grant of 1 million rubles.

The system operates using near-field transient electromagnetic sounding (NFEES). This inductive pulsed electrical exploration technology relies on studying the transient field generated by changes in source current. During the survey, a transmitter and receiver loop are placed on the earth's surface. The transmitter loop pulses the current, creating a transient field or secondary currents propagating deep into the section, while the receiver loop records this signal. Using the contrasting electrical conductivity of rocks, information can be obtained on the reservoir properties and composition of formations. The obtained data is processed and interpreted, and then used to construct 2D and 3D section models. The advantages of this method over other geophysical methods include its relative low cost, the ability to obtain detailed depth sections, and high productivity.

Increasing oil recovery is a key objective in the later stages of field development. Seismic-based monitoring is an effective tool for optimizing production systems and monitoring fluid movement within the reservoir. However, seismic exploration costs can reach hundreds of millions of rubles, is time-consuming, and requires highly complex data processing and subsequent interpretation. For this reason, seismic exploration is more suitable for exploring new fields. When assessing the presence and volume of residual oil in reservoirs—that is, oil remaining in reservoirs after the field has been depleted—electrical prospecting is more suitable. Experts estimate that residual oil reserves in Russia could reach 40-60 billion tons.

"Our system is mobile, and we use a high-precision method based on near-field transient electromagnetic sounding. We plan to improve the existing prototype device, conduct testing at a geophysical site, and develop simplified data processing software. This system will allow us to pinpoint the location of residual oil traps with a high degree of accuracy. Similar mobile systems are not yet available on the Russian market," explained Artem Zavadko.

Artem Zavadko began working on the project two years ago as part of his thesis under the supervision of researcher Evgeny Valerievich Krupnov. A prototype has now been created, consisting of transmitter and receiver coils, a current meter, and a current switch. For now, the system operates using off-the-shelf software.

The system will operate as follows: a generator loop that generates a transient field will be mounted on the chassis of an all-terrain vehicle. A receiver will be located behind the generator, recording the received signal. After recording the secondary currents, they will undergo primary processing—cleaning them of interference; then, secondary data processing and interpretation will take place.

"The signals obtained after measurements contain information about the structure of the geological section due to the contrast in the medium's electrical conductivity. It is known that oil does not conduct electricity, while water-saturated rocks and formation fluids with high mineralization have low electrical resistivity. With proper data processing and integration of well data, the accuracy of interpretation can exceed 80%. Survey depths range from 500 to 1,500 meters, depending on the signal source's power and the section's electrical conductivity," explained Artem Zavadko.

Funds from the grant are planned to be used to refine the prototype to increase the depth of research. Extensive testing of the system will also be conducted at geophysical sites, and further improvements will be made based on the results. Simultaneously, simplified software will be developed in C, and a desktop version of the application will be created. Following successful completion of these tests, trials are planned for real fields.

The project will result in the creation of a mobile near-field transient electromagnetic sounding system, which will enable the acquisition of reliable, verified data. This data will be used to construct models identifying the location of residual oil reserves within strata. This development can also be used to search for ore minerals. The system will be used primarily by Russian geological exploration and service companies working with organizations in the fuel and energy sector.
