The Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering has summed up the final results of the 2025 admissions campaign. The university has not only recruited another class, but also confirmed its status as one of the key centers of attraction for future engineers, designers and architects of the North-West.

This year, the university opened its doors to 4,708 talented applicants. This figure speaks of the trust of applicants and their parents in the quality of education at SPbGASU.

The competition for budget places was especially intense, as always. 1930 people were able to successfully pass the competitive selection and become budget students. These are the most motivated and strong applicants, which guarantees a high level of future graduation.

Full-time education traditionally remains the most popular. 2,765 people are enrolled in it, and almost every second of them (1,237 students) will study at the expense of state funds.

The part-time and correspondence forms showed stable demand, bringing together 896 students. This format is ideal for those who combine education with work in their field, which is especially valuable in the construction and design industries.

The university is growing not only in breadth but also in depth, actively training highly qualified specialists and scientific personnel.

The Master's program accepted 955 people, and the vast majority (796 people) chose full-time education. It is important that 80 percent of full-time Master's students (637 people) will study on a budget, which indicates the priority of research training for the state.

The postgraduate program has been expanded by 92 new researchers. More than half of them (56 people) will work on their dissertations at the expense of budgetary funds.

The 2025 admission campaign has become another confident step forward for SPbGASU. The university not only maintains, but also increases its educational scale, offering high-quality programs for students with different educational trajectories – from a classic bachelor's degree to fundamental postgraduate studies.

The NSU Graduates Congress was held at the university

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Last weekend, the annual NSU Alumni Congress was held at Novosibirsk State University. Its program was opened by the general meeting of the NSU Union Alumni Association, which took place in the famous Maltsevskaya Auditorium. The participants summed up the results of the year, discussed plans for the future, and elected a new composition of the governing bodies.

Among the most significant results was the active participation of the Union in events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the last president of the USSR Academy of Sciences Gury Marchuk and the outstanding historian, honorary professor of NSU Varlen Soskin. And also – the charity event "Thank you for teaching" (targeted congratulations to non-working teachers and employees of NSU), which has already become a traditional part of the association's work.

The new president of the NSU Union is Pavel Fedorov, managing partner of the Scientific Equipment Group of Companies and a 2008 graduate of the NSU Faculty of Economics.

— I have divided all the upcoming activities into three areas, which I plan to implement in the next two years. Firstly, to increase interest among graduates and increase their involvement in the work of the NSU Union. Secondly, to create a comfortable environment not only for current members of the Association and associate members, but also to attract new people wishing to join the union. And, of course, to pay special attention to working with students, because they are our future, — Pavel Fedorov shared his work plans.

One of the forms of work of the Union with students is the Mentoring program, launched in 2021. By participating in this project, students get the opportunity to think about the future in advance, begin to adapt to the labor market and prepare for their further career path. And graduate mentors pass on their experience and secret knowledge of "adult" life, take an active part in the development of students, are inspired by new fresh ideas and get new employees to their team.

Over the past years, this program has accumulated useful experience, which mentors shared during a special round table that continued the Congress program. Its participants discussed how best to "recruit" mentors, whether it is necessary to involve those who live outside of Russia in this work, whether feedback channels are needed, etc.

The next round table within the framework of the Alumni Congress was devoted to the phenomenon of student clubs at NSU faculties, such as "The Office of the Divanov Brothers", "Quantum", "Maximin", etc. Its participants talked about why these clubs have been successfully operating for decades, how students receive additional competencies in them, which can subsequently radically change their entire life trajectory.

The Congress traditionally ended with a popular science part. Rector of NSU, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk spoke about what the university is today, briefly summed up the results of the admission campaign, drawing attention to the increase in the number of applications from applicants, the expansion of the geography of those admitted, and the growing popularity of engineering and IT areas. He also congratulated on the opening of a new building of flow auditoriums, which took place on August 29 with the participation of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. He spoke in a little more detail about the federal development programs in which NSU participates, and about the new grants that the university has recently won, in particular, the university became one of the winners of the national competition for the creation of university startup studios.

The topic of the lecture by Dmitry Zharkov, Head of the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of NSU, was "Why are we still alive, or how a cell repairs its genome." Then, Mikhail Lavrentyev, Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology of NSU, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, gave a lecture "M.A. Lavrentyev – Contribution to the Victory and Development of the Country." The popular science part was concluded by Petr Marchuk, Member of the Board of the Alumni Association "NSU Union", who presented a report dedicated to the 100th anniversary of G.I. Marchuk.

Indian neurosurgeons successfully tested Polytech's development

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A research team led by SPbPU professor Vladimir Ivanov, in partnership with neurosurgeons from a specialized hospital in Chennai (India), has successfully tested an improved version of a surgical navigation system based on artificial intelligence and augmented reality. The development allows detailed 3D holograms of brain structures integrated with MRI data to be projected onto the surgical field in real time, which increases the accuracy of interventions and reduces intraoperative risks.

Surgical navigation is the gold standard in modern neurosurgery. However, traditional systems have limitations, requiring the surgeon to constantly shift his gaze from the surgical field to a separate monitor. Augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are designed to solve this problem by integrating virtual 3D models of anatomical structures directly into the surgeon’s field of view.

One of such promising developments is the Medgital Vision software and hardware complex, created by the research group of Professor Vladimir Ivanov from the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics and Mathematical Physics of SPbPU.

The Medgital Vision system is a complex that combines algorithms of computer vision, machine learning and augmented reality.

3D reconstruction. Based on MRI/CT data, AI algorithms create highly accurate 3D models of the surgical area, in particular, complex brain structures. Holographic projection. The model in the form of an interactive hologram is projected directly onto the surgical field through an AR headset or a specialized display, providing the surgeon with “X-ray” vision. Intraoperative navigation. The system tracks the position of surgical instruments in real time and combines them with a virtual hologram, ensuring the highest navigation accuracy.

The updated version of the system was tested by the leading developer Ildar Mamaev at a specialized hospital. At the request of Indian colleagues, the AI algorithms were modified for even more detailed visualization of specific areas of the brain. The very first operation performed using the updated system confirmed its clinical effectiveness and stable operation in the conditions of a real surgical process.

The success in India continues a series of international adoptions of the technology.

2023 — the first operations using the system were performed in medical centers in Turkey and Belarus. 2024 — the development received top awards at prestigious international competitions HICOOL (China) and ITECH (China). 2025-2026 — it is planned to implement the system in clinics in Mexico and Ecuador, as well as to open a full-fledged representative office in India.

The head of the Committee for Industrial Policy, Innovation and Trade of St. Petersburg, Alexander Sitov, noted: St. Petersburg has enormous potential in creating artificial intelligence technologies. We are among the leaders in the country in the field of AI development. The city helps developers determine the maturity level of their technologies and promote them to international markets, which is clearly demonstrated by the success of the Medgital Vision project.

Professor Vladimir Ivanov emphasized: Entering the international arena is not only a commercial task for us, but also an important stage in validating the technology. Each new implementation in the world's leading clinic provides invaluable data for further improvement of artificial intelligence algorithms and increasing the accuracy of the system.

Successful testing of the Medgital Vision system in India confirms its competitiveness in the global medical equipment market. The development of St. Petersburg scientists makes a significant contribution to the development of digital surgery, allowing to increase safety and reduce the invasiveness of complex neurosurgical operations. Further international expansion and collection of clinical data will contribute to the evolution of the system towards full automation of surgical planning.

Students of the Faculty of Economics of NSU won the case championship from Alfa-Bank

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From August 19 to 23, the Alfa-Bank case championship was held at Krasnaya Polyana in Sochi. The championship consisted of two stages: remote (case solution) and in-person (revision, defense). At the first stage, teams had to develop a new banking product focused on the needs of a youth audience, present a UX prototype and demonstrate the profitability of this idea for the bank. After that, the results of the selection stage were summed up: only 20 teams out of 724 made it to the final, which had to refine their solution: shoot a promo video, develop an MVP demo and, finally, present it to leading Alfa-Bank experts in Sochi.

— Our team is a team of the strongest students in the country. For example, we have already worked together with Alisa German and Daria Yudina from Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Each of us is a winner of a RUB 1 million prize for winning the largest all-Russian competition (Bolshaya Peremena, Tvoy Khod), for which we were included in the state information resource about people who have demonstrated outstanding abilities. We were joined by Olga Somova (NSU), the winner of the All-Russian legal case championship MGIMO Law Championship, who brilliantly worked out the regulatory risks of our fintech product, and Maria Kolobova from OSU, the winner of the International Festival of Sports Programming "Code of the World", who revived our ideas in the interface. We believe that the strength of our team is in its diversity, and the formula for success is ambitions multiplied by expertise in various fields, and the desire to change the world for the better! — shared Alina Churkina, a 4th-year student majoring in Management Faculty of Economics, NSU.

The team's presentation was dedicated to presenting the concept of new banking for Generation Z. The girls analyzed the values of young people and came to the conclusion that zoomers value such things as development, status, and community. The team proposed moving away from the traditional approach, where a bank is perceived solely as a tool for transactions, and presented an emotional-behavioral platform that turns banking into a tool for personal growth. This approach is aimed at forming long-term loyalty and reducing customer churn through integration into the daily life and interests of the young audience. All this is the result of three weeks of intensive work: analyzing the values of Generation Z and the best practices of fintech and lifestyle brands, designing a viable business model with forecasts for monetization and key metrics; developing a product prototype, a promotion plan, and, finally, filming a promo video for its presentation.

— The final stage of the case championship can be divided into the final and the super final. In the final, 20 teams had to present a 2-minute pitch and show a promo video. An hour later, a list of 10 super finalist teams was announced, which had to present their solution to the experts again. In my opinion, the main task in the final was to cope with our emotions: excitement, fear and fatigue after a busy day of presentations. In the super final, we had to not only clearly and convincingly convey the key ideas of our product, but also answer difficult questions from the jury, demonstrating a deep understanding of the market and the needs of the youth audience, — added Olga Somov, a 4th-year student of the Jurisprudence program at the Faculty of Economics of NSU.

Olga and Alina's team made it to the super final (top 10 strongest teams in the country) and, based on its results, became the winner in the nomination "Best Promo Video", for which they were awarded the opportunity to undergo a priority internship at Alfa-Bank.

— Alfa Case Camp is a completely new level of championships. We didn’t just defend the solution, we literally lived it for several days: we discussed non-standard solutions for launching banking products, received personal consultations on pitching and our careers from Alfa Bank top managers. This program gave a unique opportunity not only to present our solution, but also to directly exchange experience with experts who are shaping the future of banking technologies today. Winning the “Best Promo Video” nomination and reaching the top 10 strongest teams in the country confirmed that we not only know how to think strategically, but also implement creative ideas efficiently, which is certainly nice. But the main prize is the people, knowledge and emotions that we took with us! — Alina shared her impressions.

— Participation in the Alpha Case Camp was not only a great opportunity for me to apply theoretical knowledge in practice, but also a unique experience of teamwork in a real business environment. In addition to professional growth, I received a lot of positive emotions from the inspiring atmosphere of the mountain resort, the rich educational program and informal communication with guys from different parts of Russia. This case championship helped me understand how important creativity, flexibility of thinking and the ability to quickly adapt to new challenges are, — Olga added.

NSU Master's student creates open system for diagnostics of lithium-ion batteries

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Master's student Faculty of Information Technology Novosibirsk State University, profile "Internet of things", Dmitry Muravyov developed a system for monitoring and diagnostics of lithium-ion batteries. The solution includes a hardware module and a web service and is already available in the public domain for manufacturers and service companies.

The system allows testing batteries in various scenarios, recording their performance indicators and storing the results in a database for subsequent analysis.

— The main goal of the development is to increase the level of safety of devices using lithium-ion batteries as the main power source, — explains the author of the project Dmitry Muravyov. According to him, the development opens up opportunities for conducting not only standard measurements, but also regression and stress tests, which is especially important for checking the reliability of power sources.

Lithium-ion batteries are used everywhere today, from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and medical equipment. Their widespread use makes the issue of reliability and diagnostic accuracy especially relevant. Companies that develop or service devices with such batteries are interested in control tools that allow for a quick and objective assessment of the battery condition.

Dmitry Muravyov's development consists of two parts. The hardware part of the device is assembled from widely available components that can be purchased inexpensively on marketplaces. It allows you to set charging and discharging profiles, record operating parameters and transfer them via Wi-Fi to a web service or write them to an SD card. The built-in display shows the indicators in real time. The web service provides control of the device, allows you to set complex testing scenarios and analyze data.

“We made the system as accessible as possible – the code is written in Python, and anyone with basic programming skills can modify it to suit their own needs,” notes Dmitry Muravyov.

According to the project's scientific director, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology at NSU Alexander Vlasov, the idea of creating an open system was born as a result of cooperation with the YADRO company, which is the largest domestic manufacturer of computing equipment.

— Batteries are an integral part of many computing devices, and monitoring their condition is necessary both at the production stage and in research tasks at the design stage. We saw that the market lacks accessible open source solutions, so the appearance of such a tool is an important step, — says Alexander Vlasov. The prototype of the solution was created at the YADRO Laboratory at NSU with active consultation of the company's employees.

There are already devices for testing batteries on the market, however, as Dmitry Muravyov explains, they have significant limitations: low measurement accuracy, closed software without the possibility of modification, lack of remote control and flexible testing scenarios.

“The lack of a solution free of these shortcomings became an incentive to create our own system,” the developer emphasizes.

Today, the project is at the MVP (minimum viable product) stage. The system is already operational and allows for various testing scenarios. The limitations are charging voltage up to 4.6 V and maximum current up to 1.6 A. But the main thing is that the solution is completely open: the circuits can be assembled from available components, and the software can be downloaded from GitHub. This makes the system accessible to both researchers and companies that need their own battery quality control tool.

— It is very important that such developments appear in the public domain. In Russia, the segment of battery testing tools is poorly developed, and the emergence of publicly available solutions develops the entire industry. This is useful both for the IT business and for the country as a whole. In the YADRO laboratory, we try to promote exactly such useful projects from the point of view of the general infrastructure. Directly, in a project like Dmitry's, it is difficult to trace the benefit, but we hope that our devices, which we use every day, will become a little safer and more reliable, — notes Alexander Vlasov.

Dmitry Muravyov himself emphasizes that he is ready to develop the project if interested partners appear. In the meantime, his system has already found practical application: a similar device was assembled and tried to be used by one of the Novosibirsk organizations working with equipment, where it is also necessary to test power elements.
