PhD students of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials became the winners of the jubilee conference

The 30th anniversary scientific conference named after E.V. Armensky was held at the Higher School of Economics, bringing together young researchers, PhD students and students working in advanced areas of modern science and technology. This year, the event once again became a platform for discussing current scientific results and exchanging ideas in the fields of physics, materials science and computational methods. The conference was particularly successful for the PhD students of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials who have demonstrated a high level of training and the significance of their research.

The conference was won by the second-year PhD student Natalia Kononova with her presentation "Formation of Abrikosov Vortex Chains in Thin Superconducting Films." Her work focuses on the study of fundamental effects in superconductors and the mechanisms of self-organization of vortex structures, which is crucial for the development of superconducting technologies and quantum devices.
Another winner was Leonid Kushchuk, a prize-winner of the HSE MIEM competition. He presented his report "Choosing the Exchange-Correlation Functional for Developing Machine-Learning Potentials for Modeling Diamond-Like Coatings." In his work, he addresses current challenges in computer modeling of materials and the application of machine learning techniques to improve the accuracy of predictions for promising coatings.
The victories of the Center's postgraduate students highlight the high level of the HSE MIEM scientific school and its contribution to the development of interdisciplinary research at the intersection of quantum physics, materials science, and digital technologies.
Congratulations to the winners and we wish them further scientific achievements!
