Dr L.A. Makarova is an assistant professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University, working in the research group of Prof. N.S. Perov. She has been conducting research in the field of magnetic elastomers since 2013 and received her Ph.D. in 2018. For the thesis, new materials based on elastomers with multiferroic properties were first developed. The experimental work was complemented by work on numerical modelling of their properties. Dr L. Makarova actively collaborates with various scientific groups.
Her areas of interest include the study of a new one-phase method of synthesis of biocompatible composites with magnetic nanoparticles for theranostics (drug delivery, diagnostics, therapy), a new method of retinal transplantation using a magnetic seal based on a biocompatible magnetic elastomer, and others. Another area of her work is the development and study of layered composites, where one layer is a polymer with ferroelectric properties and the second is a layer of a magnetic elastomer. Such laminated composites have huge induced voltage values, are flexible and could in the future form the basis for universal sensors and converters of electromagnetic and mechanical vibration energy.
Her current research focuses on both engineering and biomedical applications of new multiferroic materials. Her work has been supported by the RFBR, Presidential grant and RSF. At the same time, Dr Makarova works at the IKBFU, where her ideas on three-component multiferroics based on polymer and fine magnetic and ferroelectric particles have been continued in the study of their possible use for stem cell differentiation.

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!
