Mass spectrometry has evolved into a mainstream drug, doping and poison testing method capable of identifying tens of thousands of different chemical compounds in a biological sample.
Technological advances in mass spectrometry have led to a ban on Meldonium, while athletic achievements often depend on how sophisticated the anti-doping lab instrumentation is. Illicit drugs are routinely detected in a blood sample, but what about poisons? Why do some labs detect Novichok and others don’t?
The speaker will present devices, methods and legal aspects of substance detection, as well as current challenges and potential solutions.
Yury Kostyukevich is a PhD in Physics and Mathematics and an assistant professor at the Skoltech Center for Computational and Data-Intensive Science and Engineering (CDISE).

All along its history, humankind has been turning to nature for help in dealing with intractable problems and complex engineering tasks. It turns out that many common things like hydraulic pumps and brakes, black boxes and even Velcro fasteners were copied from animals or plants. The mid-20th century witnessed the emergence of b biomimicry, a new area in applied science. What is it about? Why do we “steal” inventions from nature? How do we use biomimicry in our daily life? How do animals and plants help architects, engineers and even doctors?

The general perception that we are well past the hydrocarbon era and global oil reserves will likely be exhausted within decades is very wide of the mark. What is true though is that extracting oil becomes increasingly more complex, expensive, and less efficient, while oil prices keep plummeting.
Creating new oil production technologies is a major challenge for scientists and engineers worldwide, while a general concern for saving the environment and wildlife is driving “green” technology, a new trend in hydrocarbon recovery.
The lecture will offer insights into oil exploration and production, with the spotlight on advanced technologies and computational methods used to address this daunting task.
Alexey Cheremisin is an Associate Professor and Deputy Director at the Skoltech Center for Hydrocarbon Recovery (CHR). After graduating from the Physics Department of the Novosibirsk State University (NSU) and prior to joining Skoltech, Alexey worked at Schlumberger’s R&D department where he engaged in the development of new hydraulic fracturing technologies.

19th workshop on crystal structure prediction with USPEX code will be held November 11-13, 2020. Program can be found here
The workshop is organized by Prof. Artem R. Oganov and Dr. Vladimir Baturin.
This year our traditional workshop will be held in online format. The comprehensive lectures on the theoretical foundations of materials science and reports of the bleeding edge discoveries in our field will be followed by detailed tutorials from the developers of the USPEX code.

Skoltech at Technopark is a series of science education lectures hosted by the Skolkovo Technopark Lecture Center. Created jointly with the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, the lectures focus on the world-changing science, technology, innovation, and business topics presented by Skoltech faculty and researchers at the country’s best Technopark.
Whereas the overall technology design chain from lab research to industrial prototypes has changed little over time, the implementation rates have grown exponentially over 150 years since the first Industrial Revolution. One of the reasons behind this rapid growth is the emergence of digital twins that are a virtual replica of a physical product, a production line or even an entire plant. Why are digital twins essential for technology advancement? What are the key approaches that help develop digital twins and eventually move towards Industry 4.0? How are companies coping with digitalization and how can digital twins help them along?
Michail Gusev will talk about digital twins and their real-life applications in various sectors ranging from the metals and machine industries to oil and gas production.
Mikhail Gusev, a Research Scientist at Skoltech, is an expert in digital twins, production optimization and digital technology integration in the metals industry, aerospace and oil and gas sector. He earned his PhD degree with a thesis on thermal strength of a nuclear reactor’s fuel assemblies. Mikhail performed numerical modeling of continuous casting, completed several digital twin projects for the metals industry and successfully implemented a complex-product design data management solution for Tupolev’s Design Office. In 2019, he co-founded Cyberphysics startup focusing on the scaling of solutions for the metals industry through development and implementation of a digital twin platform.
