Blagoveshchensk Polytechnic's scientific mission: from the cosmodrome to Amur University

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

At the end of September, a delegation from SPbPU visited Blagoveshchensk, Russia's Far East. Polytechnic University representatives—professors Alexey Filimonov, Vladimir Zaborovsky, and Vadim Korablyov, and associate professor Vyacheslav Bondarenko of the Higher School of Engineering Physics—participated in several scientific events.

The visit began with a working meeting at the Vostochny Cosmodrome. The delegation toured the technical and refueling complexes, the Soyuz-2 launch pad, and the newly constructed launch pad for the Angara heavy-lift rocket.

The following day, the 23rd scientific conference "Physics: Fundamental and Applied Research, Education" opened. This year, it was held at Amur State University, which celebrated its 50th anniversary. Participants presented key results of experimental and theoretical research in the fields of semiconductor physics, condensed matter, and nanotechnology to the scientific community. Over 50 papers were presented at the conference, including the usual 50 poster presentations.

The Polytechnic University team presented three papers. The first, "Dynamics and Kinetics of Lead Magnoniobat Relaxor," was devoted to the study of ferroelectric relaxor materials with potential for practical application.

Relaxors represent one of the most interesting groups of disordered compounds. In this study, we analyzed structural relaxation in the lead magnoniobate relaxor PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 (PMN). X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) was employed as the primary method for studying slow dynamic processes. Using experimental data, we traced the temperature evolution of both single-time and dual-time correlation functions. Ultra-broadband dielectric spectroscopy was also used to track the kinetics of the dielectric response of lead magnoniobate during aging in the region of a diffuse phase transition. It was found that aging is accompanied by a hardening and narrowing of the dielectric loss spectra and a decrease in the dielectric strength. An explanation is proposed based on the concept of creating degenerate polar nanoregions spanning several chemically ordered regions.

The second report was titled "Physical Aspects of Machine Learning Processes." It discussed, from the perspective of modern computer science and theoretical physics, the evolution of digital implementations of deep artificial neural networks toward the creation of multimodal transformers of large language models—the foundation of intelligent technologies for modeling complex physical processes and "learning" computer systems.

Pythagoras developed the theory of the harmonic series, which explains why music, like geometry, is a form of reflection of the objective properties of physical reality. A theory capable of guiding the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems based on fundamental physical concepts has not yet been created. This paper presents an exo-intelligence extension of the architecture of modern computer-based software automata, which it proposes to consider as information-open physical systems capable not only of inductive learning based on explicitly specified digital data but also of conceptual learning. This allows us to solve the problem of regularizing the generative hallucinations of large linguistic models by exploiting fundamental physical laws.

The third report, "Chaotic Potential on the Surface of Doped III-Nitrides," focused on obtaining information about the nature of the electronic properties of semiconductor surfaces and contact structures. SPbPU scientists presented the results of a study of the size effect in semiconductor heterojunctions during space charge distribution across point and extended linear defects, which is relevant for fine-tuning the manufacturing technology of modern electronic devices based on heterojunctions.

This paper discusses the screening of electroactive defects (point and linear) and the structure of the chaotic potential on the GaN surface under self-compensation conditions. Using a statistical analysis of a Poisson ensemble of charged defects, the amplitude and scale of the chaotic potential are determined. It is shown that at high degrees of self-compensation, inhomogeneities in the fields of charged dislocations dominate the surface.

The conference featured an informal scientific discussion with colleagues from Moscow State University, TUSUR, Kabardino-Balkarian State University, Novosibirsk State University, and many other educational and scientific centers in Russia, as well as with representatives from Heihe University in China.

Professor Zaborovsky also delivered a lecture entitled "Information Intervention in Physics: Computer Science and the Problem of Machine Learning" to third- and fourth-year students at the Institute of Computer Science and Engineering at Amur State University as part of an exchange program.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

September 30th Faculty of Information Technology The final round of the TE AI HACK 2025 AI hackathon, timed to coincide with the faculty's 25th anniversary, was held at NSU's Faculty of Information Technologies (FIT). Over the course of two days, 19 teams of students and schoolchildren worked on solving cases related to the use of AI agents in business processes.

The hackathon was organized by the NSU Institute of Information Technologies and True Engineering. It was the first time the event was held, and over 60 people participated.

According to Anastasia Surkova, a fourth-year student at the NSU Faculty of Information Technologies and one of the organizers, the emphasis was on product development: “We wanted the students to understand the potential client’s goals and create not only a working prototype, but also a complete product that could be presented.”

The teams worked on two tasks: the first was "smart search," a service that uses an AI agent to transform users' informal queries into formal language and find the necessary information in a knowledge base. The second was document comic book transformation, a solution that transforms textual information into visual stories.

The geography of the participants turned out to be broader than the organizers expected: among the contestants were students from the Faculty of Information Technology, the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics (FMM) of NSU, the Institute of Intelligent Robotics (IIR) of NSU, NSTU, RANEPA, as well as Novosibirsk high school students.

"We expected the hackathon to be primarily for our students, but in the end, we had students from various universities and even schools. This is great: it means there's genuine demand for such events," noted Anton Chumak, a fourth-year student at the NSU Faculty of Information Technologies and one of the hackathon's organizers.

Thirteen teams advanced to the final defense. In the finals, the participants presented their projects to experts from the IT company True Engineering. According to the jury, they were particularly impressed by the uniqueness of the cases and the teams' dedicated work.

TE AI HACK 2025 Winners: 1st place — Team Hedgehog (Ilya Karakulin, NSU Institute of Intelligent Robotics; Yulia Vyaznikova, Ilya Pereverzev, and Bogdan Martynov, NSU Faculty of Information Technologies); 2nd place — Team bebryata (Pavel Ivankov, Semyon Denisov, NSU Faculty of Information Technologies; Mikhail Borovets, NSU Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Informatics); 3rd place — Team False Engineering (Maria Shipaeva, NSU Faculty of Information Technologies; Alexander Bondarenko, Bogdan Afanasyev, NSU Faculty of Mathematics and Mathematics).

All participants received prizes—merch from True Engineering and NSU—and the best teams were added to the company's talent pool. This means they will receive priority for internships and interviews.

The organizers noted that the hackathon atmosphere was intense but inspiring: "We worked very hard, and it wasn't just an event for the sake of it, but a real-life experience of interacting with a company. It was a tremendous experience for the students," shared Anastasia Surkova.

True Engineering also positively assessed the first experience of holding a hackathon together with NSU and expressed its readiness to continue the collaboration.

NSU's Faculty of Future Technologies celebrated its 25th anniversary in the true spirit of a faculty of future technologies: creating new solutions and uniting the university, industry, and talented students.

Developers at the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center have created a prototype of the "Digital Assistant for Doctor Pirogov" system.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A prototype of the world's first medical decision support system, the "Digital Physician Assistant 'Dr. Pirogov,'" was developed by scientists at the Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI Center) of Novosibirsk State University. It is based on a hybrid technical solution combining neural and semantic networks. The digital physician assistant contains information on 250 major diseases. This number will increase in the future, as the system will be expanded to include information on additional pathological conditions. Information on these conditions is currently being systematized and verified. The developers used a hybrid approach combining neural network methods and a specialized knowledge graph, ANDSystem, to ensure the interpretability of decisions. The prototype was created using research and development conducted at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

– Developing the Doctor Pirogov system, we set ourselves the task: to reduce the routine load on the doctor and reduce the duration of the patient without loss of quality. This system is also able to provide consulting support and support medical decisions in the provision of primary medical care in a wide range of medical directions, which is especially relevant with the current deficiency of narrow specialists in remote and sparsely populated regions. Our “Doctor Pirogov” allows the patient’s interactive survey. We plan to implement both voice and visual interface. The system “studies” medical documentation, analyzes clinical information and instrumental research, evaluates laboratory indicators and results of genetic testing. She does all this, relying on the semantic columns of knowledge, built on the basis of an analysis of the knowledge contained in its basis of medical and scientific literature. The results of the work of the Doctor Pirogov system are a list of probable diagnoses on pathophysiological justifications, a list of necessary additional examinations, therapy recommendations taking into account drug interactions, and recommended personalized preventive measures for each particular patient. At the moment, we have created a prototype of the system, the main functions of a digital assistant have been successfully worked out, ”said the leading researcher, project manager at the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center, the head of the laboratory of artificial intelligence and large genetic data ICIG SB RAS, and the head of the computer proteomics ICIG, Vladimir Ivanisenko.

The Doctor Pirogov system combines knowledge across 20 medical specialties, including internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, gastroenterology, infectious diseases, pediatrics, oncology, psychiatry, dermatology, hematology, nephrology, rheumatology, and others. This allows it to be used as a universal digital assistant for general practitioners, emergency physicians, and specialists.

The developers of the Doctor Pirogov system are confident that the digital physician assistant will be extremely useful in rural areas where paramedics see patients. It will assist these medical professionals in making treatment decisions and referring patients to diagnostic centers for additional testing or to other medical facilities for specialized care. Doctor Pirogov can be used for preliminary patient interviews in pre-hospital care settings and to support the physician during appointments. Patients can enter their personal information, complaints, and test results while waiting for their appointment—the user-friendly interface ensures a seamless experience. Based on the patient's initial information, the system will generate a list of possible conditions, ranked by risk. During the appointment, the physician will then conduct further interviews to confirm the diagnosis, if necessary, and Doctor Pirogov will recommend additional tests and treatment options. The physician decides whether to follow these recommendations.

"Doctor Pirogov" will be an assistant to healthcare professionals. It won't replace doctors, but it will significantly facilitate their work. When used in pre-hospital care settings, it will conduct an initial patient interview and analyze existing clinical data, issue a referral for lab tests or a doctor's appointment, including a recommendation for a specialist. This will allow for efficient patient flow, ensure preliminary triage and routing, and reduce the workload of community healthcare workers. Supporting the doctor during appointments is equally important. Here, our system will expedite the processing of patient complaints, their test results, and other clinical data. Supporting clinical decision-making based on a database of medical and scientific knowledge is also crucial. This will reduce the duration of patient appointments without sacrificing quality and reduce the risk of diagnostic errors. "Doctor Pirogov" will be especially useful for doctors in rural and remote areas. It will be able to provide consulting support in many medical specialties where specialist availability is limited and analyze lab data, instrumental examinations, and medical records. This will improve the quality of initial diagnosis and treatment, reduce the need to refer patients to the district center, and reduce the workload of rural doctors thanks to the AI system's interpretation of complex clinical data, explained Vladimir Ivanisenko.

It took scientists from Novosibirsk State University and the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS 10 years to create the semantic network embedded in the Doctor Pirogov system. This work was conducted at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS under the leadership of Academician Nikolai Kolchanov. The developers were tasked with finding pharmacological targets and developing drugs for a number of common diseases. They needed to determine which gene a specific drug targets and then, based on this information, develop the chemical structure of the drug.

– A person has about 20 thousand genes, they interact with each other. At the same time, one gene is able to suppress or increase the activity of another. Depending on this, they can react differently to a particular drug. To solve the problem of choosing targets for the action of the medicine, it is necessary to determine which genes are associated with a certain disease and how these genes interact with each other. It was obvious to us that it was impossible to do without the help of artificial intelligence in this situation, so we began to build a semantic network. Its difference from the neural network is, when teaching neural networks, knowledge is distributed through the so -called Libra in the form of some numbers. To make the methods of AI interpreted, it is necessary to distribute the knowledge gained in training in the form of semantic networks. We had 20 thousand genes, each of them became a peak, and facts – about 30 thousand diseases. Between them are the ribs – relationships. Our system was supposed to take into account everything – risk factors, the influence of the external environment, mutations in genes, the physiological parameters of the body. All this information was contained in 50 million scientific publications. One person working 8 hours a day and spending 2 minutes on reading one article would take 300 years to perform this work. Every year, an average of 1.5 million publications appear. In this work, to extract facts from the texts, we involved neural networks, applying a thin tuning method to them, for which 25 thousand rules were previously manually registered. As a result, a semantic network was built, where about 40 thousand facts of the ratio of genes and symptoms with various diseases were installed, ”said Vladimir Ivanenko.

A large team of researchers was involved in this large-scale project. Students from NSU and other Novosibirsk universities also contributed to the creation of the semantic network of the specialized ANDSystem knowledge graph. Under the supervision of Vladimir Ivanisenko alone, 40 student papers were written. Each year, 10-12 students participated in the work as part of their summer internship. Six PhD dissertations were defended, and over 150 scientific articles were published, devoted to the analysis of various diseases using this information extraction method. Initially aimed at solving scientific problems, the developers later decided to adapt it for practical medicine. A semantic network, unlike the human brain, can store and, if necessary, retrieve a much larger volume of information about medications and their compatibility with each other, side effects and contraindications in the presence of comorbidities, and much more. The use of AI will help avoid errors in prescribing medications, determining patient management strategies, and their rehabilitation. Currently, there are no analogues of this system in the world, and only four similar systems are known that perform scientific tasks in the field of genetics.

The digital physician assistant's functions have now been successfully tested, and the developers of Doctor Pirogov are now faced with the task of implementing it on a large scale. To achieve this, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate permitting documentation for classification as medical software, register with Roszdravnadzor, and obtain an assessment of compliance with the requirements of the EAEU Technical Regulation and Standard 047/2018. Systematic solutions at the Russian government level are also needed: the creation of a regulatory sandbox for testing AI in clinical practice, a simplified registration procedure for AI-based medical solutions subject to physician oversight, and the development of Methodological Recommendations from the Russian Ministry of Health for integrating digital assistants into primary care. Once all these steps are completed, medical facilities will need to retrofit their offices with computerized workstations for patient-doctor interaction with the AI.

Clinical trials of the Doctor Pirogov system will begin next year. Internal verification of its scientific validity is currently underway.

This year, World Teachers' Day fell on the first Sunday in October. In Russia, this professional holiday for domestic teachers was celebrated on this day until 1994, when it was merged with the global date recently established by UNESCO.

According to the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center, in 2012, only 4% of Russians considered teaching prestigious. By last year, this figure had risen to 16%. And the profession's popularity continues to grow. The current academic year's admissions campaign attracted a record number of applications for teacher training programs – over 541,000, a quarter more than last year. On average, there were 16 applicants per spot.

Although most associate Teacher's Day with schools, it also concerns all employees in the education sector. Therefore, the State University of Management congratulates its entire faculty, but with special warmth we extend our best wishes to the teachers of our Pre-University. May the efforts you invest in your students be repaid a hundredfold through their successes and achievements, may lessons and lectures be a joy, and may the respect and love for you continue to linger among schoolchildren and students long after graduation. Happy holiday to you, bestowers of knowledge and wisdom!

NSU celebrated the anniversary of the Faculty of Information Technology

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 2, the scientific and practical conference “Technological Sovereignty Begins with Us,” dedicated to the 25th anniversary, was held in the conference hall of the new NSU classroom building. Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) of NSUThe event brought together students, faculty, researchers, and the faculty's partners. The conference addressed the development of domestic IT technologies. A ceremony celebrating the faculty's anniversary was part of the conference.

The scientific and practical conference began with a presentation by Mikhail Lavrentyev, Dean of the NSU Faculty of Information Technologies and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who discussed the faculty's history, development, and key achievements.

"On a day like this, I certainly want to remember Vladimir Ivanovich Nifontov, the founding dean of the Faculty of Information Technology. At the initiative of NSU Rector Nikolai Sergeyevich Dikansky, he took on a difficult task: he founded our faculty, which is still growing, on the premises of the Faculty of Engineering at the NSU Higher College of Informatics. Thanks to Vladimir Ivanovich, the Faculty of Information Technology is currently growing and developing. Another dean who made a significant contribution to the development of our faculty was Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Anatoly Mikhailovich Fedotov; it was always comfortable and pleasant to work with him," said Mikhail Lavrentyev.

According to SuperJob, NSU's Faculty of Information Technologies ranks 7th in Russia for graduate salaries. It is also among the top 301–350 universities in the Computer Science category.

"This year, the competition for the faculty's graduate program is 2.5 applicants per place, which demonstrates that graduate school has become popular among IT specialists. I'm pleased to announce that our dissertation defense council for technical sciences has been established. Only a few universities have been authorized to award academic degrees. Our university joined this cohort, and our council began its work this year. Three dissertation defenses have already been held, and a fourth is being processed," emphasized Mikhail Lavrentyev.

In total, the Faculty of Industrial Technologies (FIT) has over 300 faculty members, 185 of whom are company directors and leading IT specialists. The faculty collaborates closely with businesses: four joint laboratories currently operate at the Faculty of Industrial Technologies (FIT): SberLab NSU, Shift Lab, YADRO Laboratory, and PGLab. To further foster fruitful collaboration with partners, the university has established the honorary titles of "Industrial Professor" and "Industrial Associate Professor." These titles enable company representatives to obtain associate professor positions at the university without holding an academic degree.

The faculty also includes many candidates and doctors of science, as well as staff members from Akademgorodok institutes. For example, the faculty closely collaborates with the A.P. Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems, the S. L. Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, the Federal Research Center for Information and Computational Technologies, and others.

"The Institute of Cytology and Genetics and the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics are particularly noteworthy in this list—two institutes that aren't specifically targeted at IT specialists. Nevertheless, we've developed fruitful collaborations with each, and each offers its own educational specializations. Students actively choose and continue their scientific and engineering careers directly at these institutes. One of the faculty's graduates, Deputy Dean for Master's Studies A.A. Vlasov, began his career at the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics, defended his dissertation in geophysics, and then returned to the university—a shining example of an interesting and successful career," added Mikhail Lavrentyev.

Later at the conference, leading IT specialists and IT company executives presented reports on topics such as technological independence, software import substitution, artificial intelligence developments, and infrastructure solutions, and also shared experiences with students from the faculty. Speakers included representatives from SberTech, SoftLab-NSK, Data East, Exposoft, and others.

The ceremony, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the faculty, began with a speech by NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk:

"I am pleased to be here at the Faculty of Information Technology's celebration. As many of you know, the Faculty of Information Technology emerged during the era of faculty formation, under Nikolai Sergeyevich Dikansky. On this day, it's worth recognizing the Faculty's deans, all of whom were remarkable individuals. For example, the organizing dean, Vladimir Ivanovich Nifontov, was a poet, an artist, and a mountain climber. It's also worth remembering those who stood at the origins of computer science, two outstanding figures in Akademgorodok—Andrei Petrovich Ershov and Igor Vasilyevich Pottosin."

Importantly, the faculty maintains its growth momentum: for example, the average Unified State Exam (USE) score for the Computer Science and Systems Engineering program this year was 91.3, 1.6 points higher than the 2024 target, and for Software Engineering and Computer Science, it was 88, one of the highest scores at NSU. Considering the number of students enrolled on a state-funded basis, this is an excellent indicator for the entire university. I sincerely congratulate the faculty, wishing them prosperity and growth. We have high hopes for the development of the Faculty of Information Technologies and the IT industry in Akademgorodok. Twenty-five years is a wonderful year. It's young, vibrant, and exciting.

Vice Governor of the Novosibirsk Region Irina Manuilova joined in the congratulations:

"Twenty-five is a time when you've developed a certain confidence, a clear vision, and a passion for what you do. I want the faculty to maintain and enhance these qualities. The faculty is engaged in a task of paramount importance to the country, because training IT specialists means addressing the challenges of technological sovereignty, technological leadership in the truest sense. Without IT technologies, without working with artificial intelligence, it's unlikely we can expect any significant success. And you, future specialists, must be the first to do this. Over these 25 years, this school has developed, and it has become one of the best not only in the country but also in the world. And so I'm confident that success and a breakthrough await us. The faculty has developed a unique ecosystem where education, science, and industry, represented by IT companies, work together." This is what the founders of our Akademgorodok bequeathed to us, and I am confident that this model, which is successfully implemented today at your faculty, will continue to justify its purpose for many decades to come!

The ceremony also included awards to faculty members and partners for their work and contributions to the development of the NSU Faculty of Information Technology.

The Governor of the Novosibirsk Region awarded its awards to: Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology for Postgraduate Studies Aris Savvich Tersenov and Industrial Professor of NSU, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology for Master's Studies Alexander Alexandrovich Vlasov.

Mikhail Mikhailovich Lavrentyev, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology, and Dmitry Evgenievich Palchunov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and Head of the Department of General Informatics of the Faculty of Information Technology, received awards from the Ministry of Science and Innovation Policy of the Novosibirsk Region.

A certificate of gratitude from the Ministry of Science and Innovation Policy of the Novosibirsk Region was presented to Associate Professor and Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Valery Avdeevich Churkin.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 3, 2025, the results of the 5th International Financial Security Olympiad in Krasnoyarsk were announced. Maria Vikulova, a student in the World Economy program at the Institute of Economics and Finance and head of the State University of Management's (GUU) student council, won the prize in the International Relations category.

In addition to her, two more of our students and three students from the Pre-University School participated in the finals, and Rector Vladimir Stroyev gave a lecture on the specifics of the Russian governance system as part of the educational program. A total of 600 people out of 65,000 who applied made it to the final round.

We share our impressions of the finale firsthand from today's heroine:

"From the moment I entered the State University of Management, I was passionate about my studies and university life and couldn't imagine my life without them. I see this as a defining stage in a person's life, one that largely determines their future position in society, their interests, and their social circle. That's why I decided to participate in the International Financial Security Olympiad in my specialized area. Of course, I devoted a lot of time and effort to preparing, and it paid off; I won a prize in my section of the Olympiad. However, it gave me something more: the experience of interacting with the international community and like-minded people who are equally interested in this topic. In the future, I hope to become a true professional in my field, worthy of standing guard over my country," says Maria Vikulova.

We congratulate Maria and wish her continued success in various competitions and in her daily studies!

Let us remind you that last year our students also became Olympiad prize winners.
