Abstract by guest speaker Prof. Alexander A. Balandin:

Unique electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) graphene originate from its unusual linear Dirac-cone dispersion. Phonons – quanta of lattice vibrations – reveal features in 2D crystals, which are also substantially different from those in bulk materials. In 2008, we discovered that the phonon thermal conductivity of suspended graphene can be exceptionally high – above ~2000 W/mK at room temperature – exceeding that of the basal graphite planes [1].

We explained it by quenching of the Umklapp processes in 2D systems and resulting anomalously long mean free path (MFP) of the low-frequency acoustic phonons in graphene [2-4]. In the first part of my talk, I will review the results of our optothermal Raman measurements of thermal conductivity of graphene and explain the basic theory of heat conduction in 2D crystals [4].

In the second part of my talk, I will describe practical applications of graphene in thermal management of electronics. Specific examples of applications include graphene enhanced thermal interface materials (TIMs) [5], thermal phase change materials (PCMs) for Li-ion battery packs [6] and few-layer graphene heat spreaders [7]. I will also outline our most recent results that show a possibility of increasing the thermal conductivity of copper films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of graphene [8].

Seminar June 20: Challenges in Advanced Computing: Multi-This and Multi-That

When: 20-06-2014

“Everything is interwoven” and Multi-X challenges are everywhere, claims Prof Hans-Joachim Bungartz.

His talk will focus on Multi-X problems in Computational Science and Engineering – multi-physics problems, multi-scale models, multi-level algorithms, or multi-core systems – and possible co-design strategies to tackle and solve these issues. The seminar lecture aims to present examples from recent research that show how a well-balanced approach can lead to significant improvements in application performance, and offer a perspective for Skoltech’s CDISE CREI – both as a hub of methodical Computational Science and Engineering research and as a cross-sectional unit with tight links to other CREI’s.

Title: «CHALLENGES IN ADVANCED COMPUTING: MULTI-THIS AND MULTI-THAT»

Speaker: Prof Hans-Joachim Bungartz, Technische Universität München (TUM)

When: June 20, 2014 12.30 – 14.00

Where: Beijing-1 Auditorium, China cluster, Skolkovo School of Management

SEMINAR ABSTRACT: There are a lot of challenges Computational Science and Engineering and High-Performance Computing are confronted with, many of them being of “Multi-X” type: multi-physics problems, multi-scale models, multi-level algorithms, or multi-core systems are just some prominent representatives. Others are multi-modality or multi-dimensionality, that are especially related with the data involved – which underlines the fact that the computational paradigm currently sees another incarnation: after simulation and optimization now data exploration.

Each of these topics is demanding in itself. The big challenge, however, results from the fact that everything is interwoven, that progress on the road to exa-scale computing including large-scale data analysis requires the combination of the most advanced models, algorithms, and systems – i.e., there is need for a co-design perspective that goes beyond classical application or system tuning or algorithm development.

The talk will focus on the multi-X challenges and possible co-design strategies, it will give a couple of examples from our recent research that show how a well-balanced approach can lead to significant improvements in application performance, and it will provide a perspective for SkolTech’s CDISE CREI – both as a hub of methodical CSE research and as a cross-sectional unit with tight links to other CREI’s.

Here’s Looking at You: Skoltech Student Startup Secures 1.4 million RUB Funding

11/06/2014

ImageAiry at Russian Internet Entrepreneurship Forum

Ekaterina Kotenko-Lengold’s day at the Russian Internet Entrepreneurship Forum was fraught with expectation, tension – and hope. The Skoltech student was slated to present her startup, ImageAiry, to the President of Russia. But Vladimir Putin arrived at the Moscow event only after the young entrepreneur was done pitching to potential investors. And still, the pressure was on. She had to secure the vital fuel without which her satellite imaging service cannot get off the ground: money. An hour later Kotenko-Lengold was up in the air. ImageAiry landed 1.4 million RUB in funding.

The seed funding, equivalent to $40,000 USD, was secured through the Russian Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF), with a total valuation of 20 million RUB ($580,000 USD.) Image Airy, founded by Kotenko-Lengold and Alexandra Kudryashova in 2013, touts itself as the “world’s first marketplace for satellite imaging services”. Based on the user’s industry or specific task the search algorithm finds and suggests suitable satellite pictures, imagery resellers or consulting companies which are suitable to business owners’ specific needs. The service might, for example, help tour operators to avoid selling packages to flooded regions or assist agricultural companies seeking high crop yielding areas.

“This is all very, very exciting”, reflected Kotenko-Lengold on her roller-coaster day, “my presentation also resulted in interest for our project from a few senior VCs representing, among others, the Rostelekom Venture Fund, Microsoft Seed Fund and Inventure Partners. Big day, lots of challenges ahead.”

Seminar June 16: Getting to the Heart of Math

When: 16-06-2014

How can mathematical optimization help cardiologists to better understand the heart’s operation and analyze scans and images? Join Professor Karl Kunisch’s seminar and learn all about «SELECTED OPTIMIZATION TOPICS IN THE LIFE SCIENCES»

June 16, 2014 13.30 – 15.00 Beijing-1 Auditorium,China cluster Skolkovo School of Management

SEMINAR ABSTRACT: Mathematical optimization has become an important tool to obtain improved insights into many areas of science where mathematical tools are not a-priori commonplace. The life sciences in general, and biomedical engineering in particular, are fields where novel optimization techniques combined with modern computing tools can contribute significantly to pushing the boundaries of the research field.

In this talk I address topics ranging from electro-cardiology to mathematical image analysis. The optimal control approach to cardiac arrhythmias allows to determine an electrical field in such a way that fibrillatory propagation cannot be maintained and at the same time negative side effects are minimized. Image analysis techniques based on calculus of variations foundations, and algorithms realized in a modern graphic card environment, can be highly efficient as will be shown for segmentation of cell populations, diffusive optical tomography and motion correction of magnetic resonance image sequences.

Russian Brain-Drain Reversed, One Researcher at a Time. First Stop: Cambridge, UK

05/06/2014

Russian expats in Cambridge meet memebers of Skoltech leadership team

Russian expats in Cambridge meet members of the Skoltech leadership team

Two dozen researchers and tech executives sat around the white Formica table, decorated with a handful of water bottles and a few ballpoint pens. Some women wore power suits, the men had ties on. The Russian-born expats have come to Cambridge to consider their cooperation options with Skoltech. The Moscow-based tech university, whose core mission includes deepening its ties with the Russian scientific diaspora, have sent two members of its leadership team to the English university town in order to convey a clear message to their target audience. There is one key to reversing Russia’s brain drain: you.

“People. We need people. Human capital is extremely important for a new university,” stressed Mikhail Myagkov, Vice-President for Academic Affairs and International Relations at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), “The growth of our academic and intellectual potential must be parallel to the construction of the campus. Experience gained by young and successful innovation-oriented universities shows that the contribution of scientific is crucial. That is why we are here.”

Natalia Berloff, Skoltech’s Dean of Faculty, pointed out the university’s role as a multidisciplinary institute, a portal between industry and science, diaspora and homeland. “Bear in mind, we serve as a gateway for western companies who want to operate in Russia”.

The university’s representatives were hoping to extend Skoltech’s academic community and discuss opportunities for collaboration in education, research and innovation. Berloff presented the institute’s faculty, recruitment process and compensation packages offered. Myagkov discussed Skoltech’s masters and PhD programs and research opportunities.

But most of their time in Cambridge, where Berloff is Professor of Applied Mathematics, was invested in listening. Participants asked about Skoltech’s partnership with MIT, ties to the business community, students’ recruitment, visiting positions, postdoctoral programs, research funds and the structure of the university’s 15 Centers for Research, Education and Innovation (CREIs).

Dr. Oleg Kovalevskiy, a molecular biologist with the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, said he was considering moving back to Russia after six years in the UK. “I am exploring all the different opportunities available. I have heard many different opinions about Skoltech, both positive and critical, and this round table discussion is a perfect chance to talk about all those matters.”

Russia’s pool of scientific talent is massive but not limitless. Despite being famed for its education system, the country has struggled to keep brilliant researchers at home ever since the collapse of the USSR. Reversing the brain-drain has become a top priority for Russia’s government – and Skoltech was designed with this goal in mind.

PM Medvedev Pledges that “Skoltech will be a Top International University”. But What Happened Before and After at SUV2014?

04/06/2014

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev meets and greets Skoltech president Ed Crawley and students

“Dmitry Anatolyevich, haven’t you forgotten something?” the crowd surrounding the Russian Prime Minister, ready to leave the Skoltech students and leadership he had just met, turned their heads. It is not everyday that a graduate student calls upon Dmitry Medvedev to halt to a stop. “We have a gift for you. Would you like to take it?” Medvedev grinned, his security detail relaxed. The photographers shuffled back to the little table where students Aidana Nurzhanova and Nikita Rodichenko were waiting for the Prime Minister of Russia with a goody bag.

Inside it nestled a quadrocpoter, a four-propeller drone, designed and custom built by the Student Engineering Club. Another handshake, one more smile for the cameras and the entourage departed once more.

“That went quite well,” Skoltech’s president Ed Crawley observed, “we are having a good day.” But when Medvedev spoke with the media the rector’s day got even better.

“Skoltech will be a major scientific center, a top university which draws foreign researchers and specialists”, the Prime Minister declared from the main stage at Startup Village, “I thank the international scientists who have come to Russia to help build the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology”. His remarks were carried by Russian news agencies and broadcast on prime time TV news, then went viral – shared, retweeted, and posted to social networks.

And yet Skoltech’s day at Startup Village 2014 was not only about VIP guests. Entrepreneurs and professors met at the 4^th Innovation Program Conference, organized by the university’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation; students competed with guests at a drones tournament (with a 12 year old pilot called Kyrill becoming an overnight sensation); Skoltech leadership participated in panels and discussions; and a young Russian physicist spoke to the audience through a robot – after learning she had won Science Drive 2014 and will spend the next year working in Manchester with Nobel laureate Andre Geim.

Here are are the pictures that sum up one of the busiest days Skoltech had this year.
