From March 31 to April 4, 2025, the All-Russian conference “PhysMech Science Week” was held at the Physics and Mechanical Institute of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.
“PhysMech Science Week” is a national scientific conference for students, postgraduates and young researchers, organized by the Institute of Physics and Mechanics of SPbPU. The scientific areas include experimental and computational physics, theoretical and applied mechanics, biomechanics, applied mathematics, supercomputer computing, engineering of materials and structures.
The conference program included nine sections, three of which were held at the Higher School of Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics: “Biomechanics,” “Applied Mathematics,” and “Hydroaerodynamics, Combustion, and Heat Transfer.”
“The PhysMech Science Week continues the long-standing tradition of the university-wide Science Week. For the fourth year now, at the conference organized by the Physics and Mechanics Institute, students and postgraduates present reports on the results of their research to their classmates and teachers. Guests from other universities and scientific organizations — the university’s partners — also participate in the sessions. I would like to express my gratitude to the organizers of the sections, the volunteers who provide oral and poster sessions, and especially to the scientific editor of the conference materials indexed in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), Professor Evgeny Smirnov,” said Nikolay Ivanov, Acting Director of the PhysMech Institute. “The PhysMech system laid down by A. F. Ioffe implies the active participation of senior students in scientific research. The high level of scientific work performed by students and postgraduates was confirmed by the 2025 conference. I would like to especially note those who took part in the Science Week for the first time. Without a doubt, PhysMech graduates will present reports at scientific conferences of the highest level in the future, but the first student presentation will be remembered most of all – here, within the walls of their native university.”
The meeting of the section “Hydroaerodynamics, combustion and heat transfer” was held in the conference hall of the Resource Center for International Activities of SPbPU. At the oral session, 5 reports selected by the program committee were presented. At the poster session, 19 posters prepared by students and 23 posters from graduate students and young scientists were presented within the framework of two parallel poster subsections. At the oral subsection, Professor Evgeny Smirnov made a report “The Department of Hydroaerodynamics of the Polytechnic University is 90 years old!”, in which he spoke about the history of the department and the key stages of development.
More than 130 people took part in the work of the section, of which over 30 employees represented SPbPU, Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute, JSC UEC-Klimov, JSC Engineering Center Kronstadt, Soft-Impact LLC, LS-Technologies LLC. More than 100 students and postgraduates represented SPbPU, SPbGMTU, Mining University, BSTU Voenmekh. The section meeting ended with the awarding of diplomas and memorable gifts to all authors of oral reports, the best poster reports based on the results of the expert commission, as well as all students, teachers and guests present at the meeting based on the results of secret voting.
The program of the section “Applied Mathematics”, which took place in the House of Scientists in Lesnoy, included 8 oral and 18 poster presentations by students, postgraduates and young scientists from SPbPU. The reports were prepared based on the materials of the works carried out under the supervision of teachers and researchers of the section “Applied Mathematics” of the Higher School of Psychology and Mathematics. The topics are very broad – research in the field of bioinformatics, development and application of numerical methods and algorithms, machine learning algorithms and models, solving optimization problems, etc.
The Biomechanics section heard 11 oral reports on experimental and numerical studies of problems in the field of biohydrodynamics. They were presented by students of the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics and Mathematical Physics (training program in Applied Mathematics and Physics), the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics and Mathematical Physics, and the Advanced Engineering School Digital Engineering. Following the meeting, all speakers were awarded certificates of participation.
The work of all three sections, organized by the staff of the Higher School of Psychology and Mathematics, aroused great interest and attracted representatives of other universities and scientific organizations. The reports were accompanied by numerous questions, meaningful discussions and debates.
It should be noted that the number of participants and the quality of reports presented at the sections of the conference “PhysMech Science Week” are growing year after year. This contributes to a wider involvement of students in research work as part of scientific groups while still in their undergraduate studies, as well as to an increase in publication activity, and an increase in the authority of PhysMech among applicants, students, researchers and teaching staff.
Authors of papers accepted for presentation at the conference must submit extended abstracts (in the form of a short article of 2-3 pages) to those responsible for the sections by April 14, which will be published and posted in the Russian Science Citation Index.
