This talent management program is aimed at supporting the professional development of promising researchers

During the joint seminar of the Social and Cognitive Informatics Laboratory (SKILA) and the Natural Language Laboratory (NLL) at HSE University on March 19, 2024, Anna Pushkareva (Boldyreva) spoke. She is a leading analyst at the IT company PARMA Technologies Group, a lecturer at MIPT, and a consultant at IEMIT RANEPA.

A research workshop "From the Logical Point of View" was held on March 15. Arsen Volskiy (a student of NSU) made a presentation on "The Concept of Modality in the Context of Lukasiewicz's Three-Valued Logic". 

Abstract

Jan Lukasiewicz is a well-known Polish logician, considered to be one of the first major researchers in the field of many-valued logic. In this regard, perhaps the most significant work is his article “Philosophical Remarks on Many-Valued Systems of Propositional Logic” wherein he formulates the concept of “possible” as a third truth value. I am going to talk about the logical system that Lukasiewicz is building as well as the motivations that lead him to this concept.

The project to develop a microfluidic placenta-on-a-chip model for studying various aspects of normal and pathological placental physiology, including one of the severe pregnancy complications—preeclampsia—has won in the competition "Conducting Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research by Individual Scientific Groups"

The impressive results of the Centre's Researchers' work were presented at the XXVIII International Symposium "Nanophysics and Nanoelectronics" in a poster presentation "Transition from type II to Type I superconductivity in dirty ferromagnetic superconductors". The symposium was held in Nizhny Novgorod on March 11 - 15, 2024 and brought together more than six hundred scientists from all over Russia, as well as from other countries. This is the largest conference on condensed matter physics in Russia, covering a wide range of issues from the physics of superconducting, magnetic and semiconductor systems, multilayer X-ray optics and quantum technologies.

HSE University's International Laboratory for Social Integration Research, together with the GES-2 House of Culture, will hold the Second Annual Interdisciplinary Conference 'Researching the Deaf Community.' The forum will address issues related to the social, cultural and linguistic aspects of deaf people’s lives. The conference will be held from May 31 to June 2 at the GES-2 House of Culture.

Scientists at HSE University and MIPT have developed a supercomputer-based method to model fluid flows at atomistic scales making it possible to describe the emergence of turbulence. The researchers used the supercomputers cHARISMa and Desmos to compute the flow of a fluid consisting of several hundred million atoms. This method is already being used to simulate the flow of liquid-metal lead coolant in a nuclear reactor. The paper has been published in The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications.

Timofey Shvaya presented the study "Crowd Size and Prediction Precision: an Analysis of Metaculus Data". Co-authors of this research: Petr Parshakov, Iuliia Naidenova, Dennis Coates
