The Russian Science Foundation has summed up the results of the grant competition “Conducting Initiative Research by Young Scientists”. Within two years, teams of young researchers will receive 3 million rubles for the purpose of conducting fundamental and exploratory scientific research under the Presidential Research Projects Program. Among the areas, there are exact sciences (mathematics, informatics and systems sciences), natural sciences (physics, biology, chemistry, space/Earth/life/materials sciences), fundamental research for medicine, agricultural sciences, humanities and social sciences, engineering sciences.
The competition participants are candidates of sciences under the age of 33, who has at least three publications in WoS or SCOPUS. The team may additionally include two scientists, postgraduates or students.
Three scientists from Samara University are among the winners of the 2025 competition:
· Fedor Martynenko, Candidate of Physics and Mathematics, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Nanoengineering, Assistant Lecturer at the Department of General and Theoretical Physics, will conduct a theoretical study of exotic bound states of particles in the Quantum Field Theory.
· Yulia Khristoforova, Candidate of Physics and Mathematics, Associate Professor at the Department of Laser and Biotechnical Systems, will focus on predicting non-communicable diseases in patients by using Raman blood spectroscopy.
· Dmitry Idrisov, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Thermal Engineering and Thermal Engines, will study the non-stationary combustion processes in methane-hydrogen fuel in the combustion chambers of a gas turbine unit (GTU).
The team of the educational project “Obsessed with Science” congratulates the young scientists of the University. The project is being implemented within the Decade of Science and Technology and is supported by the grant provided by Russia’s Ministry of Education and Science.
