I’m really glad that I am alumni of master program “Functional nanomaterials and modern technologies”. During my master education, I have met a lot of interesting scientists from different countries, and while communicating with them on lectures and practices gained valuable experience.
The choice of writing diploma in athe form of startup brought me very interesting experience, because I didn’t relate to startup activities before. The Ttopic of my diploma interested in the NOMC “North-Western Center for Mathematical Research named after Sofia Kovalevskaya” that was based on the REC “Smart Materials and Biomedical Applications” at our University, where I continue to work on the development of this topic with the support of the above-mentioned centers.

It was a really hard two years of studying in FunNAT but it was definitely worth it. Moving to Kaliningrad, studying in English, writing two thesis takes a lot of your time and energy. Still, this is exactly the kind of situation when you are happy to be exhausted because the results are amazing.

During this program I:
· Meet true professors who care about their students and love their subjects
· Start working in bio lab with cancer cell cultures despite I have bachelor in materials science
· Try to study Polish language
· Find a perfect supervisor for PhD
· Receive master diploma in physics and master diploma in nanomaterials

First, I want to take about my experience studying nanotechnology’s magnetic medical applications and its development:
My experience so far is one of pride that I have been able to be a part of BFU Immanuel Kant university’s physics department. The dedication and hard work that has been put into my two years of study has allowed me to succeed in many ways, as well as increasing my self-development skills. The university’s nanotechnologies department is a great place to study and I would suggest it to anyone!

Second, I want to talk about effort has been made by university staff to afford the best education and help to the students:
The university have amazing staff support when it comes to all things internally at university and externally within the environment. They are always prepared to go above and beyond when it comes to supporting students when they are confused, or when they are in the worst places. The support given at IKBFU is the best I’ve seen and heard about, no matter is too small nor too big for the university. Everyone is thought about and even if you are not asking for support, it is always there and will present itself when you need it most!

Molecular Photonics

2 semester | 6 CP | Exam

Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Kaliningrad, Russia

This course is dedicated to the study of light, its interactions with matter, and the transformations of matter triggered by light. An integrated approach, inspired by a recent trend trying to merge the physical aspects of light, such as wave optics and field theory, and the more chemical concepts, such as photonics and quantum theory is chosen within the course. The descriptions of the “photo” and “opto” related areas are not separated from each other, but under the single concept of “Molecular Photonics” they have been merged. Rather than trying to answer the question, “What is light?” it is illustrated how we, as human beings, understand the concept of light. In order to understand the concept of “Molecular Photonics” it is crucial for the student to undertake a study of fundamental principles. The first part of the course “Fundamentals of Molecular Photonics” includes several sections dedicated to optics, the molecular field theory, the radiation field theory, and the interactions between the molecular field and the radiation field. Fundamental principles are often treated in an introductory part, leading the students to think that they are of little importance and that they can be understood with ease. This trend of relegating the fundamentals to a brief introduction is getting increasingly common in natural sciences. Each fundamental concept of “Molecular Photonics” is explained through tables and figures produced by an original computer system. “Fundamentals of Molecular Photonics” proceeds with three advanced parts dedicated to photochemical reactions, photophysical processes and light-materials interaction.

Laser Physics

2 semester | 6 CP | Exam

Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Kaliningrad, Russia

MIREA, Moscow, Russia

A main goal in the conception of this course was to describe the fundamentals of lasers in a uniform and especially lab-oriented notation and formulation as well as many currently well-known laser types, becoming more and more important in the future. It closes a gap between the measureable spectroscopic quantities and the whole theoretical description and modeling. This course contains not only the fundamentals and the context of laser physics in a mathematical and methodical approach important for university-level studies. It allows simultaneously, owing to its conception and its modern notation, to directly implement and use the learned matter in the practical lab work. It is presented in a format suitable for everybody who wants not only to understand the fundamentals of lasers but also use modern lasers or even develop and make laser setups. The course tries to limit prerequisite knowledge and fundamental understanding to a minimum and is intended for students mastering in physics, chemistry and thechnology after a bachelor degree, with the intention to create as much joy and interest as seen among the participants of the corresponding lectures. This university course describes in its first three parts the fundamentals of lasers: light-matter interaction, the amplifying laser medium and the laser resonator. In the fourth part, pulse generation and related techniques are presented. The fifth part gives a closing overview on different laser types gaining importance currently and in the future. It also contains a set of examples on which the theory learned in the first four parts is applied and extended.
