Since 1984 Department of Laser Systems and Advanced Technologies preparing specialists in the field of Laser Treatment. The main tasks that can be carried out by specialists with higher education in this specialization are:
a) study of laser beam interaction with materials;
The history of Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute is shaped by individuals whose achievements have defined the university's academic and human legacy for generations. One of the most distinguished among them is Professor Volodymyr Serhiiovych Kovalenko, whose contribution continues to inspire the university community. On June 20, 2026, the university marked the 85th anniversary of the birth of this outstanding scientist, whose research and teaching career was as focused and purposeful as the laser beam he devoted his life to mastering.
The tumultuous year 2025 is drawing to a close. Amid the whirlwind of events, anxieties, struggles, and everyday concerns, a moment has arisen to indulge in a philosophical and historical reflection and take a look at the history of the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical-Technical Technologies. And immediately the question arose: what should serve as the starting point—the establishment of the department as a graduating unit, the launch of the major, the inception of the field, or the creation of the basic laboratories from which it all began?
Vladyslav Boyko, owner and executive director of KyivMedService, a national leader in the maintenance and repair of medical equipment, machinery, and instruments, is a graduate of the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. A successful engineer and manager, he does not break ties with his alma mater. “We know everything about medical technology, and even a little bit more,” says the entrepreneur, "and we want to share our knowledge and experience with current students.
In today's environment, the production of competitive mechanical engineering products requires technologies that ensure high quality products and improve their performance. In particular, combined thermomechanical hardening using laser radiation and surface treatment is an effective technological method of increasing the wear resistance of parts.
How are ideas for developing a new technology and tool born? This question arises when you get acquainted with the materials of fundamental and applied research, which are carried out simultaneously with the educational process on the basis of two departments of the Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding named after E.O. Paton ( Institute of IMZ) of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute - the Department of Physical Materials Science and Heat Treatment (FMTO) and the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies (LTFT).
This publication is devoted to the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies (LTFT) of the E.O. Paton Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding.
For more than ten years, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has been cooperating with the University of the Basque Country (Universidad del País Vasco, Spain) and the Kurdyumov Institute of Metallophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine to improve the processing of metal prod
In early October, Oleksii Kahliak, Acting Head of the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies, held the first of a series of open popular science lectures at the invitation of the House of Scientists.
At Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic University was created a new structural unit - Institute of Materials Science and Advanced Technologies. This decision was made today by the Academic Council of the University.
