HSE MIEM and Nanjing University Discuss Joint Projects in Engineering Sciences
Developing cooperation in engineering sciences was the key topic during the latest visit of a delegation from Nanjing University to HSE University. This time, the guests were hosted by the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM).
Russian Physicists Determine Indices Enabling Prediction of Laser Behaviour
Russian scientists, including researchers at HSE University, examined the features of fibre laser generation and identified universal critical indices for calculating their characteristics and operating regimes. The study findings will help predict and optimise laser parameters for high-speed communication systems, spectroscopy, and other areas of optical technology. The paper has been published in Optics & Laser Technology.
Children with Autism Process Auditory Information Differently
A team of scientists, including researchers from the HSE Centre for Language and Brain, examined specific aspects of auditory perception in children with autism. The scientists observed atypical alpha rhythm activity both during sound perception and at rest. This suggests that these children experience abnormalities in the early stages of sound processing in the brain's auditory cortex. Over time, these abnormalities can result in language difficulties. The study findings have been published in Brain Structure and Function.
'It Was a Great Learning Experience for the New Generation of Mathematicians'
From November 5 to 9, 2024, HSE University hosted a five-day conference on algebraic geometry and mathematical physics, organised jointly with the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications. Over 30 mathematicians from the world's leading universities, including early-career scientists, participated in the event.
'HSE University Taught Me to Think Critically'
Alexandra Kislyonkova, 27, originally from Kazakhstan, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Social Informatics from HSE University in St Petersburg. After completing her bachelor's, Alexandra pursued a master’s in the 'Science of Learning and Assessment' programme at HSE University in Moscow. Alexandra is currently a PhD student in the Quantitative Methods, Measurement, and Statistics programme at the University of California, Merced, where she also holds a teaching position in the Psychology programme. We asked Alexandra about her studies at HSE University, her scientific interests, the subject of her dissertation, and... how to marry an HSE University student!
Mathematicians from Russia and China Meet at HSE University
From November 5 to 9, 2024, HSE University, in collaboration with the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, is hosting a joint conference on algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. Over 30 mathematicians from leading universities in Russia and China are presenting on recent advancements in geometry and mathematical physics. The conference is held in a hybrid format.
CG RAVE and the First CG WAVE Award, the Largest Computer Graphics Event in Moscow
On December 14–15, 2024, the CG RAVE conference will gather top professionals in the com-puter graphics (CG) industry for the fourth time at its venues. This event is co-organised by the HSE Art and Design School.
Fall into ML 2024: Looking into the Future of Machine Learning
On October 25-26, the Fall into ML Conference was held in Moscow, organised by the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science in collaboration with the AI Research Centre and with support from the title partner, Sber. Over the course of two days, leading experts in artificial intelligence discussed prospects for advancing fundamental AI technologies.
'I Have an Interest in Everything Related to Islam and Politics'
Mir-Ali Askerov became a scientist out of curiosity: initially, he read about the activities of radical Islamist groups, and later, he learned how to study them academically. In this interview with the HSE Young Scientists project, he explains why he chose to study moderate political parties in Central Asia, discusses the concept of God's sovereignty in lawmaking currently adopted in Afghanistan, and shares his fascination with Sufism.
