High Temperature and Superhard Materials

The program combines the study of materials science, chemistry and biomedicine and trains professionals in the development and application of nanomaterials (including magnetic materials) to create new drugs and medications. Students study nanoparticle synthesis, test their efficiency and safety for living organisms; research into the possibilities to use multifunctional nanohybride materials with antitumor effect, for instance, as MRI contrast agents, for magnetic hyperthermia and drug targeted delivery; focus on projects to develop theoretical and practical approaches to low frequency magnetic field biological process control.

Students acquire the knowledge necessary to design new material structured based on metals and alloys with the required properties, high strength and destruction resistance in the first place. They learn how to develop technologies to obtain and use in innovation areas such as power industry, aircraft industry and space technologies, transport, medicine, etc. Special attention is given to future research and experimental competencies, IT technologies in materials science including Big Data, machine learning techniques, digital options in creation and control of properties, workability forecasting and guaranteed reliability of technology and equipment operation.

This program trains highly qualified professionals in the research in the structure and properties of inorganic materials (including nanostructured and nanosized) for various areas of application including functional materials with record magnetic properties (magnetically soft and hard), and materials for biomedical purposes. Since the first year of the Master’s program students participate in the development, research and creation of new materials using the state-of-the-art equipment. Our graduates find employment at leading R&D companies and industrial enterprises.
