12 Projects of SSU Scientists Received Grants of Russian Science Foundation
The results of the competition of projects of small individual scientific groups for grant support from Russian Science Foundation have become known. The Expert Council of the Foundation noted 12 projects of scientists of Saratov University.
The size of one RSF grant is up to 1,5 million rubles annually. The grants are given to implement fundamental and exploratory research for 2023-2024.
The following projects of SSU scientists were noted by Russian Science Foundation:
– Modelling of the process of generating higher-order harmonics in graphene (supervisor – Associate Professor of the Department of Discrete Mathematics and Information Technologies, Deputy Head of the Office of Digital and Information Technologies for Innovation Anatolii Panfyorov);
– Development of mechanisms of growth and reduction of complex networks and modelling of their dynamic behaviour (supervisor – Chair of the Department of Theory of Functions and Approximations Theory, leading researcher of the Mathematics of Future Technologies Research-to-Education Mathematical Centre Sergei Sidorov);
– Methods of decompositionpillover effects for augmented vector autoregressive models (supervisor – Senior Researcher of the Mathematics of Future Technologies Research-to-Education Mathematical Centre, Associate Professor of the Department of Theory of Functions and Approximations Theory Aleksei Fayzliyev);
– An innovative approach to the formation of crystalline silicon structures on flexible substrates using laser-stimulated metal-induced crystallization (supervisor – Associate Professor of the Department of Material Sciences, Technologies, and Quality Management, Head of the Tailored Materials Lab Aleksei Serdobintsev);
– Coherent resonance in noise-controlled chaotic vacuum and spin–wave autogenerators of short and ultrashort pulses (supervisor – Assistant of the Department of Nonlinear Physics Dmitrii Romanenko);
– Development of a modern nanoanalytical system for monitoring the concentrations of antitumor antibiotics in human biofluids (supervisor – Associate Professor of the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry Alina Kokorina);

– Magnetostratigraphy of the Paleogene of the South-East of the Russian Plate (supervisor – Chair of the Department of General Geology and Minerals, Scientific Director of the Research-to-Education Laboratory of Petrophysics Andrei Guzhikov);
– Modelling the growth of food production taking into account the improvement of scientific support of agricultural entities (supervisor – Chair of the Department of Economic Issues of Research-to-Production Development, the All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics Ivan Sandu);
– Spin-wave transport in reconfigurable structures ferromagnet/antiferromagnet for non–reciprocal multiplexing devices of the information signal (supervisor – Associate Professor of the Department of Open Systems Physics, Senior Researcher at the Magnetic Metamaterials Laboratory Svetlana Sheshukova);
– Nanoscale semiconductor, multiferroid and metallized structures based on magnon crystals for processing information signals (supervisor – Senior Researcher at the Metamaterials Laboratory Oleg Matveyev).
Head of the Office of Research Olga Moskalenko commented on the victory of SSU scientists. ‘The competition of small individual scientific groups is one of the largest competitions held by the Russian Science Foundation. It is the legal successor of the competition for the best projects of fundamental scientific research of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and is held in our country for the second time. Last year, 14 projects of scientists of our university received such support, this year there are 12 new projects. The projects supported within the framework of this competition are focused on conducting research in order to develop a new topic for the research team and the formation of a research team. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are a lot of young scientists among the supported projects. The list of supported projects includes winners from almost all branches of knowledge: mathematics, computer science and systems science, physics and space science, chemistry and materials science, basic research for medicine, Earth science, humanities and social sciences, engineering sciences. I congratulate all the scientists of our university on a worthy victory and wish them further success in the implementation of their projects.’
