Successful PhD Thesis Defense by Artem Kovtun, Postgraduate Student at the Department of Applied Mathematics
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).
Based on the defense, the specialized academic council DF 64.052.072, chaired by Maksym Viktorovych Sidorov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, and Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics, awarded Artem Dmytrovych Kovtun the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in field of study 11 Mathematics and Statistics, specialty 113 Applied Mathematics.
The research topic makes a direct contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
- Goal 13: Climate Action — by improving the accuracy of mathematical modeling of environmental pollution transport processes;
- Goal 15: Life on Land — by developing effective tools for monitoring, assessing, and forecasting the ecological state of natural resources.
The staff of the Department of Applied Mathematics sincerely congratulates Artem Dmytrovych Kovtun and his research supervisor Yuliia Ihorivna Pershina, wishing them continued scientific achievements!
