Advances-in-Nuclear-Fusion-Science
  • Brief description

    • This is a multidisciplinary program developed in cooperation with industrial partners.

    • Students will expand their knowledge in the field of advanced microelectronics including bioengineering applications. The lectures will include some basics of prospective materials and devices for bioengineering, as well as of microelectronic circuit simulations and design. Students will apply these fundamentals to the area of functional and organic electronics and electronics for bioengineering.

    • This program helps students to achieve solid understanding how modern digital circuits can be built using Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) and tested with FPGA devices. We start from basic digital devices described with Verilog and evaluated on FPGA development boards and continue with more complex digital circuits, including system-on-chip (SoC) based on SCR1 microprocessor - open source and free to use RISC-V compatible MCU core, designed by Syntacore company.

    • The program also gives basics of organic electronics including advanced and smart materials, devices and technologies. The students will apply this knowledge to the field of implants, tissue engineering, polymeric scaffold engineering and other biomedical applications.

Duration: 2 weeks

ECTS credits: 5.0

Participation fee: 50 000 RUB

Participation fee includes tuition fee, study materials, field trips and cultural program.

Upon successful completion of the course students will receive hard copies of certificates with ECTS credits.

  • Cultural program

    We offer our students excursions to the most famous palaces, monuments, museums of St. Petersburg, as well as other cultural activities.

Details of the options and booking procedures will be discussed with each applicant individually.

Deadline for registration: December 01, 2024
