The St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering held the latest meeting of the STARTUP TALK business café—a series of meetings where students meet entrepreneurs and learn about how to create a startup.

The goal of these meetings is to show students that entrepreneurship is accessible to everyone, and that business skills can and should be developed during their academic years.

Vice-Rector for Youth Policy Marina Malyutina addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. She emphasized that SPbGASU has been actively developing student entrepreneurship for three years now. The university has established a system of acceleration programs, holds regular business café meetings, and hosts invited mentors and experts.

The Vice-Rector noted the growing number of graduates completing their final theses as startups, as well as successful examples of students who have received grants to develop their projects. "Today, startups are a reality, and any skill can be developed, especially when the university supports it," she emphasized.

The first to talk about her business was Daria Tokareva, an industrial designer, winner of two national environmental awards, and founder of Spawn, a company that uses unique biotechnology to create interior design items from mushroom mycelium and recycled materials. The company, which includes a laboratory and a full production cycle, operates in St. Petersburg.

The students had real samples of the material in their hands, which they could touch and study.

The speaker shared a story that began with experiments in a communal apartment in 2020, when the initial research was conducted without a lab or equipment. Later, the team was able to rent a pilot facility, begin sales, and attract its first investor. Today, the company produces furniture and decorative items, develops building materials, and is preparing to launch new collections.

Daria Tokareva emphasized the importance of educational programs and accelerators, which helped the project secure investment and enter the market. Among the key partners, she cited Sber, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, the technology entrepreneurship program, and the Russia – Land of Opportunity Foundation.

Vera Burtseva presented a digital energy twin project—a system that fully models the operation of a building or facility, enabling energy consumption analysis, load prediction, and process optimization without the risk of real-world errors. She explained how digital models help reduce costs, improve energy efficiency, and prevent emergencies.

The speaker detailed practical examples: how new solutions are tested, how digital twins are used in industry, construction, and urban management. She emphasized that the energy modeling market is growing rapidly, and specialists in this field will be in demand for decades to come.

The series concluded with expert Evgeny Nesterov, who works on major international projects in architectural and engineering modeling. He discussed the development of the building information modeling (BIM) environment, why digital design tools are becoming mandatory worldwide, and what competencies students must develop to enter the global market.

Of particular interest were the real-life cases the speaker works with on a daily basis: large industrial sites, international team projects, data logistics, and the standards the global construction industry is striving for. He noted that SPbGASU students already have a sufficient foundation to join such teams in the future.

After the presentations, the organizers held a business bingo drawing—an interactive game in which students could win prizes by completing tasks related to communication and finding interesting facts about the event's guests.

STARTUP TALK concluded with an informal networking event featuring pizza, where participants continued to discuss ideas, ask questions of the speakers, and exchange contacts.

The organizers expressed confidence that such meetings help students see real-life examples of entrepreneurial paths and inspire them to develop their own projects.

Daria Denisikhina

Congratulations to Daria Mikhailovna Denisikhina, Associate Professor of the Department of Heat and Gas Supply and Ventilation at SPbGASU, on being awarded the academic degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences (Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia No. 1101 dated November 24, 2025). Dissertation defense took place on June 17.

Scientific path and research topic

The topic of the dissertation is "Scientific Foundations of Mathematical Modeling of Air Exchange and Air Distribution in Public Buildings." This is a relevant area for the modern heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.

The work is the result of more than twenty years of practical experience in numerical modeling of the microclimate of public buildings and the development of scientific methods for analyzing design solutions for HVAC systems.

While Darya Mikhailovna's PhD dissertation focused primarily on the mathematical aspects of ventilation flow modeling, her doctoral dissertation was a summary of many years of practical application of these methods to real-world facilities—unique sports, cultural, and public buildings.

Key scientific findings

In her work, the researcher substantiated and developed scientific approaches to modeling air exchange in complex architectural spaces. This allowed:

To improve the quality and accuracy of mathematical models used in Russia for analyzing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems; to expand the application of numerical modeling in the design of complex facilities; and to establish a scientific basis for further research in this area.

One of the main challenges of the study was the need to conduct field measurements at sites to verify the models. Access to real-world conditions is often limited—for example, obtaining data near the ice surface during a hockey match has not yet been possible. Nevertheless, the measurements and their comparison with the modeling results allowed us to confirm the effectiveness of the methods used.

Personal meaning and professional prospects

According to Daria Denisikhina, earning her Doctor of Engineering degree marked the culmination of a long journey that began fifteen years ago: "I was taught from childhood: if you start something, finish it. Therefore, even when circumstances arose that could have stopped my work on my dissertation, I couldn't allow myself to do so."

The scientific status of a Doctor of Engineering Sciences strengthens the position of the Department of Heat, Gas Supply, and Ventilation in the scientific community and opens up new opportunities for its development, including in the area of attracting commercial projects.

Working with students and developing scientific direction

This new scientific level will allow the instructor to further develop the field of microclimate modeling and engage master's and doctoral students. Students in the Department of Thermal and Gastronomical Engineering, many of whom are already working in their field, will be able to immediately apply modern modeling methods to practical problems.

Daria Denisikhina notes that she has no specific plans yet to establish scientific schools and laboratories, but sees potential for developing such projects in the future.

Advice for young researchers

For future master's and doctoral students, Doctor of Engineering Daria Denisikhina recommends studying more scientific literature, including international literature: "You'll be surprised at how much has already been done in your area of interest. And don't be afraid of new things: you might just notice something others haven't."
