On September 11, 2026, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics successfully hosted the PhD thesis defense of Artem Dmytrovych Kovtun, postgraduate student at the Department of Applied Mathematics. The dissertation, titled “Mathematical Modeling of Environmental Pollution Using Function Interlineation,” was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in specialty 113 Applied Mathematics.

Research Supervisor: Yuliia Ihorivna Pershina, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics, NURE (part-time).

OpenAI reported in its official report On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem that a system of approximately 10,000 autonomous AI agents found a mathematical solution to the Navier–Stokes equations — one of the seven famous Millennium Prize Problems — in 88 hours. The formal verification of the mathematical proof in the Lean language was completed in just 17 hours by the GPT-6 Astra tool.

The Navier–Stokes equations form the foundation of fluid dynamics, describing the motion of viscous fluids and gases. The core of the problem lies in determining whether these equations always have smooth (continuous) solutions. As highlighted by media outlets, including Hromadske’s coverage of OpenAI’s achievement, the company’s algorithms constructed an example of a finite-time blowup, thereby confirming the scenario of breakdown in smoothness.

September 1st is a special day symbolizing the beginning of a new academic year. For the community of the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, this holiday serves as a reminder of the vital importance of knowledge, science, and the intellectual development of Ukraine.

On the eve of Knowledge Day, on August 31, 2026, NURE hosted traditional ceremonial events dedicated to First-Year Student Day. The celebration took place in a warm atmosphere at the Regional Organizational and Methodological Theatrical and Concert Center.

On August 18, 2026, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics hosted a solemn graduation ceremony for the Bachelor’s Class of 2026. During the festive event, held in the Loft Zone of the Kharkiv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, diplomas were personally presented by the Rector of the University, Ihor Ruban.

The students of this graduating class faced an extraordinary journey, as their entire studies since September 2022 took place under martial law. Despite all the challenges, they received a high-quality education and successfully defended their bachelor’s theses.

The dual form of education serves as an excellent bridge between theoretical university training and the real challenges of the IT and engineering industries. Anastasiia Tryzna, a student at the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE, is a prime example of successfully balancing studies with a career.

Anastasiia is already building her professional career path while working at the “Gas Transit Research Institute” branch of JSC Ukrtransgaz.

Over the course of two days, on July 15 and 16, 2026, the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE held the defenses of bachelor’s qualification works. This event marked the culmination of four years of diligent study, scientific research, and practical training for the students.

The defenses were held for two of the department’s specialties:

On June 18, 2026, a seminar organized by the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance (NAQA) titled “Higher Education Quality: Challenges, Solutions, Future” was held at the Dnipro Polytechnic National Technical University.

The event brought together educators to discuss the transformation of the educational environment, the upcoming ESG 2027 European standards, the culture of academic integrity, and the practical application of updated criteria for evaluating educational programs. The seminar also featured a meeting with the “Information Technologies” sectoral expert council.

On June 22, 23, and 24, the Department of Applied Mathematics joined the organization of summer practice for 5th–8th-grade students of Lyceum No. 169 in the metro school. Mykyta Hvozdiev, Senior Lecturer of the department, conducted masterclasses on pixel graphics, cryptography, and a mathematical quest. The students learned how a computer perceives images, discovered how to code graphics, mastered several encryption algorithms, and got acquainted with methods for quickly and efficiently finding optimal solutions.

The activities implemented Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education, by providing free access to high-quality mathematical training, particularly for school students from diverse social and educational backgrounds, creating an inclusive space for learning, self-realization, and development. This not only contributed to improving the participants’ academic results and mitigating learning losses but also gave them additional motivation to pursue higher education in the future.

The academic and teaching staff of Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics celebrates another recognition of its employees’ professional achievements. Lecturers of the Department of Applied Mathematics received Letters of Appreciation from Kharkiv City Mayor Ihor Terekhov.

The awards were presented for their significant contribution to the development of education and science in the city of Kharkiv on the occasions of the 95th anniversary of the university’s founding and the professional holiday — Science Day.

On June 5, 2026, the All-Ukrainian Forum of the Association of Frontline Cities and Communities (AFCC) titled “Science and Scientists of the Ukrainian Frontline: Present and Future” was held at the KhNATOB venue. The participants focused on the most acute challenges facing higher education in wartime conditions: organizing a stable educational process and ensuring first-year student recruitment in frontline regions, particularly in Kharkiv.

Vladyslav Gennadiiovych Parkhomenko, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE, took part in the forum as a member of the Council of Young Scientists.

For three consecutive Saturdays, lecturers from the Department of Applied Mathematics at Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics will be explaining the solutions to the NMT 2026 tasks.

• May 30
• June 6
• June 13

Time: Starting at 18:00 (Kyiv time)

The Department of Applied Mathematics invites lecturers, scientists, postgraduate students, and quality assurance specialists to join a series of open webinars hosted by the leading anti-plagiarism platform, StrikePlagiarism.com, taking place in June 2026.

Today, the integration of artificial intelligence into the educational process creates new challenges for the academic community. This webinar cycle will help participants explore state-of-the-art text-checking tools, AI-generated content analysis, and the automation of academic control in higher education institutions.
