Three projects of SSU researchers will be supported by Russian Foundation Basic Foundation. They became the best in the Stability Category (the contest on the best fundamental research conducted by leading youth science groups).
Associate Professor of the Department of Mathematical Physics and Numerical Analysis Natalia P. Bondarenko presented the project titled the Solvability and Sustainability of Inverse Spectral Problems for Non-Self-Adjoint Differential Operators.
Senior Engineer of the Nanotechnology Department Aleksei V. Markin’s project is entitled the Development of High Sensitivity Multi Complex Testing Systems of Inflammatory Biomarkers Based on New Generation of Luminescent and Plasmonic Nanoparticles.
Professor of the Department of Theology and Religion Studies Michael O. Orlov won with the project called the Religion Socialisation in the Post-Secular World: Discourse Practice and Social and Cultural Risks.
‘Our group has been done the research in spectral analysis, and this project is another part of it. It is aimed to develop spectral theory of non-self-adjoint differential operators. In general, we will focus on inverse spectral problems targeted to recover operators using their spectral properties. Also we will study Sturm-Liouville operators with complex potential and sheaves of second order differential operators that are quadratically dependent on spectral parameters. Besides, the group will analyse solvability of these operators and sheaves considering different types of spectral data. As its result, we will develop the common approach to study solvability and sustainability of inverse problems in non-self-adjoint cases regarding perturbation multiple eigenvalues. The project outcome will add to the general theory of inverse problems for non-self-adjoint operators. It will be relevant for applications and the future research in that sphere,’ said Natalia Bondarenko.
According to Aleksei Markin, his project goal is to develop new testing systems for non-laboratory fast defining of different inflammatory markers as it will help detect the reason of inflammations and prescribe medications. The testing systems will be based on a new generation of multifunctional luminescent and plasmonic nanomarks. The research discoveries will be used not only to detect inflammatory markers but markers of other diseases (cardiac markers in particular) as they must be defined in a quick and qualitative way.
‘We have won in the contest due to a few factors. Firstly, our group of young researchers is strong, and each of them studies how different nanostructures can be used in bioanalysis. Secondly, we have published many papers (7 of them in Q1 research journals). Thirdly, our mentoring professors have given us advice to improve our plan. We express our gratitude to RFBR for their trust, and we will do our best to achieve high standard results,’ commented Aleksei Markin.
The Religion Socialisation in the Post-Secular World: Discourse Practice and Social and Cultural Risks project is targeted to study the how religion socialisation influences religion identity.
‘Religion socialisation has its peculiarities in traditional communities, however, today new models of religious socialisation appear because of digitalisation. In this respect it is interesting to analyse the peculiarities of traditional and non-traditional religion identity and define their risks from social and philosophical points of view. In addition, the concept of the information society can be changed due to religiousness broadcasting, and this topic will be the novelty of our research. Nowadays people have clip thinking, and they have access to unreliable information in the Internet, therefore, they form a new model of religion socialisation different from the traditional ones. As the project result, we are going to publish a collective monography and a series of research papers in peer-viewed journals,’ told us Michael Orlov.
In his opinion, the project victory demonstrates that the highly professional expert society trusts the groups of SSU young scientists.
