In Kiev the ceremony of rewarding the winners of competition of the OPTEK company for obtaining grants of support for young scientists of leading higher education institutions and the scientific research centers of Russia, the CIS and Georgia took place on June 13, 2013. Diplomas to young scientists were presented by the director general of the OPTEK company Maxim Semenovych Ihelnyk.
Competition took place for the fifth time, 280 applications were accepted in English and selected 76 winners from Russia and CIS countries. Indispensable condition is use in researches the equipment of partners of the OPTEK company: Carl Zeiss, Bruker, ThermoFisher Scientific, Raith, Oxford Instruments, 3D Histech. Relevance of a task, applied significance of research, quality of a statement of work, existence of publications were estimated on the scientific level.
There were 8 winners in Ukraine this year . Two grants were got by young scientists from NTUU "KPI": Victoria Chernaya and Veronika Ulyanova.
The postgraduate student of the department of optical and optoelectronic devices Victoria Chernaya took the 3rd place in competition OPTEK with result of 9 points from 12 possible. The grant "OPTEK" is awarded for the project realization in 2013 "Common theory of image forming in a light microscope". The research supervisor - the Associate professor of the department of optical and optoelectron devices PSF the Doctor of Technical Science, the prof. Vladimir Nikolaevich Borovitsky.
Within the grant there is planned research project presented on the equipment Carl Zeiss, participation in conferences and publications.
The postgraduate student of the microelectronics department (head of the department; - Doctor of Technical Science, the prof., the Academician of NAN of Ukraine Yury Ivanovich Yakimenko) Veronika Ulyanova won the 1st place in competition with result of 11 points from 12 possible and got a grant for project realization in 2013 in the field of nanotechnologies. The paper topic of the postgraduate student "Synthesized in different conditions ZnO nanostructures for application in acoustic wave devices". The research supervisor - the associate professor of microelectronics Doctor of Technical Science Anatoly T. Orlov. The work is devoted to research the influence of technological parameters of low-temperature synthesis on geometrical parameters of nanostructures of oxide zinc. As a result of work it is planned to receive vertically oriented rod nanostructures for application as a sensitive element of chemical and a biosensor on the acoustic waves. Using the latest functional material will allow to create inexpensive, tiny, stable, biocompatible, sensitive and, using the principle of "energy harvesting", nonvolatile sensors.
Within the grant there are planned interning, trips to the centers of collective using of the Russian Federation in order to receive results on the equipment Carl Zeiss, participation in conferences and publications.
