Congratulations to the new PhDs!
On October 2, 2024, Vyacheslav Neverov, the Centers' research intern defended his PhD thesis.
Vyacheslav started working on his dissertation in 2019, however, he completed most of his research after he joined the HSE Centre for Quantum Metamaterials. The work was conducted under the scientific supervision of the Center's leading scientists Dr. Andrei Krasavin and Dr. Mikhail Kroitoru. The topic of Vyacheslav's research concerns the clarification of the role of disorder in superconducting materials and structures. Together with another young researcher at the Center, Alexander Lukyanov, Vyacheslav has developed a new approach for numerically solving the equations of the microscopic theory of superconductivity, which made it possible to study previously unknown unusual properties of superconductors.
The defense took place at the MEPhI Academic Council. Director of the Center for Mesoscopic Physics at MIPT, Professor Vasily Stolyarov, Director of the laboratory of the N. L. Dukhov All-Russian Research Institute of Automation Walter Pogosov and Director of the Laboratory of the Institute of Microelectronics of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation Vitaly Cherepanov were the opponents of the applicant.
Both opponents and members of the academic council noted the unusually high level of dissertation research, reflected, in particular, in a large number of scientific papers of the applicant published in highly rated journals, in reports at international conferences and in participation in grants from the Russian Academy of Sciences and in the megagrant of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation as an executor.
At the end of September, the PhD thesis of Tairzhan Karabasov, a young scientist associated with the Center for Quantum Metamaterials on research topics and scientific cooperation, was defended. The thesis on the development of superconducting diodes was defended at the MIEM Scientific Council. The research was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Andrei Vasenko, leading research fellow of Quantum Nanoelectronics Laboratory. The high level of Tairzhan's scientific work is reflected in a large number of highly rated publications, reports at international conferences, as well as participation in the RNF grant as a key performer.
