Julijana Cvjetinovic became a laureate of the Kolba Prize for Women in Science and Technology! 👩🔬
Julijana, a senior researcher at the Skoltech Center for Photonic Science and Engineering, secured first place in the Physics category.
Julijana's research focuses on studying the optical and mechanical properties of diatoms, a type of single-celled microorganisms coated in silica shells. She is also developing optical methods to monitor their growth and carbon dioxide sequestration activity. Her work could help solve fundamental problems in bionics and suggest efficient exoskeleton structures for high-performance engineering devices.
We congratulate Julijana on her remarkable achievement and wish her further success in her future endeavors! 👏

Skoltech team has presented their research at two international conferences. 🎤
Hoor Bano, a master's student of Skoltech's Engineering Systems program, presented a paper at the International Conference on Global Aeronautical Engineering and Satellite Technology 2024 in Morocco.
The topic of the paper was ‘Development of Attitude Determination and Control System for Skoltech-F CubeSat’. In this work, an Attitude Determination and Control System for Skoltech-F CubeSat is modeled based on magnetometer and sun sensor measurements. The attitude estimation is achieved through a TRIAD aided Extended Kalman Filter, and attitude control by reaction wheels actuation. Analysis is also done upon loss of sun sensor measurements in the eclipse part of the satellite orbit. The result of this research is important in understanding Skoltech-F’s attitude behavior under different conditions. It provides useful insights into the design and implementation of ADCS for CubeSats and other small satellite missions.
Yana Brovar, a research engineer from the System Thinking Group at Skoltech Center for Digital Engineering, spoke at the 18th Annual International Systems Conference SYSCON 2024, held in Montreal, Canada.
Her talk was about ‘Interfaces Modeling for Complex System Design through a Multi-layer DSM Approach’. This paper introduces a multi-layer Design Structure Matrix (DSM) approach to address the challenge of creating a universally flexible and cohesive representation for modeling interfaces across various disciplines. They illustrate this approach with a use-case of an aircraft bleed-air system, demonstrating how the multi-layer DSM facilitates comprehensive interface management and mathematical analysis, potentially enhancing system design efficiency and reliability.

May 3 is International Sun Day. Tatiana Podladchikova, Director of the Skoltech Center for Digital Engineering, told us about some recent events on this star:
▪️ On March 23, the Sun orchestrated a captivating duet, unleashing strong flares accompanied by energetic protons speeding towards Earth, resulting in an Arctic blackout of shortwave radio signals and a slight uptick in radiation levels for polar-flying aircraft. On the same day the Sun sent a giant magnetic plasma bubble towards Earth, igniting a fierce geomagnetic storm and painting the skies with mesmerizing auroras. Video: SDO
▪️April 8 brings a total solar eclipse, offering a fabulous view of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the solar corona, where solar eruptions originate. Witnessing a comet during the eclipse adds to the awe. Coincidentally, this event aligns with the solar maximum, a phase of high solar activity we experience every 11 years. This phenomenon aids scientists in unraveling the mysteries of our star's behavior and its impact on Space Weather. Photo: Lin Zixuan
▪️ On April 19, Earth felt the cosmic vibes as a solar plasma bubble struck, setting off a powerful geomagnetic storm and treating observers to dazzling auroras, even in places like the Moscow region. Photo: Alexander Sushilin
▪️ On April 30, the Sun decided to spice things up with a grand solar flare salsa, leaving ham radio operators and mariners in the Pacific Ocean caught in a shortwave radio blackout. Video: SDO
▪️ On May 1, the Sun was celebrating International Workers' Day by launching a giant plasma bubble that could give Earth a geomagnetic storm and awesome aurora show on May 4th. SOHO/LASCO footage.
If the mysteries of the Sun do not leave you indifferent, consider the Space track of the Skoltech Master's program "Engineering Systems". The track offers vast opportunities for developing advanced methods and platforms for studying solar physics and space weather.
