ABOUT DEPARTMENT
HISTORY

The Department of Applied Physics and Higher Mathematics (APHM) of The Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design (KNUTD) was established in September 2020 based on two departments: The Department of Higher Mathematics and The Department of Physics.

The main activity of the department is the training of highly qualified specialists in the field of multidisciplinary education, who have fundamental knowledge and are capable of effective use of knowledge and skills in the study of special subjects.

The educational program "Nano- and Microtechnology in Design" offers graduation with the specialty "Applied Physics and Nanomaterials" from the department. Students who enjoy experiments and have an interest in the natural sciences are drawn to this curriculum. They also aim to use a variety of creative approaches to improve the surrounding area by making it more aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, and environmentally friendly.
The program's prospects are that graduates will be able to create projects that combine environmental and aesthetic elements with cutting-edge scientific and technological advancements, and they will be able to contribute to the development of Ukraine as well as the success of these projects by understanding the "physical secrets" of phenomena, materials, and processes.

TEACHING AND LABORATORY FACILITIES

The Department of Applied Physics and Higher Mathematics is located in the 4th academic building of the University. To ensure the educational process, the department has lecture rooms, classrooms for practical classes, research laboratories, and  multimedia classrooms. Laboratory workshops in physics are held in specialized training laboratories.

Training laboratory of mechanics and molecular physics (room 4-0902, 52.9 m2)

 

Training laboratory of electricity and magnetism (room 4-0904, 52 m2)

 

Training laboratory of atomic and quantum physics, (room 4-0905, 53.3 m2)

 

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

The academic staff of the department has achieved numerous results in fundamental research in mathematics, physics and their applications, published in national and foreign professional journals and included in scientometric databases.

Teachers of the department participate in joint research projects with:

The Institute of Physics, The Institute of Semiconductor Physics, The Institute of Materials Science of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and The Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.

The department has a positive experience of scientific work with students involving them in active scientific activities. The best students are engaged in research work in physics and mathematics discussion groups and can participate in scientific and practical conferences with their distinctive reports.

SPECIALITY

The department grants degrees and prepares students for the specialisation 105 "Applied Physics and Nanomaterials" according to the training programme "Nano- and Microtechnology in Design".  Students of APHM have the opportunity to simultaneously assimilate the theoretical foundations of physics (focusing on the tailored properties of nanomaterials) and study the basics of design. Future graduates can acquire practical skills that allow combining aesthetic and environmental values in one object with modern technologies and achievements of science.

PERSPECTIVES FOR STUDENTS

Graduates of speciality 105 "Applied physics and nanomaterials" can be employed in organizations and institutions which create design solutions using the latest nano- and micro-dimensional structures.

Graduates can perform such professional works as:

  • research engineer in nanotechnology,
  • construction engineer,
  • engineer for the production of nanoparticles,
  • engineer-technologist in nanotechnology,
  • design engineer for nanomaterials,
  • engineer to introduce new technology and equipment,
  • project engineer.
