On April 28, 2025, Oleh Yermakov and Anton Ovcharenko, the co-founders of the Ukrainian Optical and Photonic Society, visited the School “Basis” in Kyiv to deliver lectures on recent advancements in optics and photonics. Tymofii Shudra, one of the high-school student conducting research work under the supervision of Oleh Yermakov, has also presented his results, […]
Optical Biosensing Workshop 2025 is a one-day event consisting of six invited lectures, a pitch-talk session for young scientists and a subsequent scientific discussion, which was held at the Kyiv School of Economics on 25 April 2025. This event gathered the leading Ukrainian experts in the area of optical biosensing to highlight the most promising directions and to share their latest results and knowledge fostering new ideas and collaborations. In total, the event brought together 18 specialists from 7 Ukrainian universities and institutes.
Our second edition of Photonics School was held in Lviv from 19 to 22 March. The school was attended by 20 participants from 5 universities across Ukraine. In total, we provided 1 special online lecture, 5 in-person lectures and 5 practical classes. The topics of classes include general waveguide theory, dielectric and hollow rectangular waveguides, optical fibers and nanostructured fibers, magnetic semiconductor waveguides, photonic-crystal and metamaterial waveguides, metasurfaces, machine learning for design of special-purpose waveguides. The School culminated in research projects in which participants, divided into 4 teams, conducted their own research using the knowledge and skills they gained during the lectures and practical classes. Besides, we organized the poster session, where the participants presented their theses and research works. Finally, the intensive work of the School was accompanied by excursions and evening board games. All participants received the certificates recognizing their progress during the School.
NanoTalks 2025 representing a series of short 10-min. popular talks exploring modern applications of nanotechnology across various fields was held at the House of Scientists in Kyiv on 18 February 2025. It is our traditional annual event promoting the perspectives of nanostructures and nanotechnologies. This year, the event was co-organized with the Scientific Meetings platform. […]
The invited talk by Oleh Yermakov was given at the conference “Prospects for the Implementation of Innovations in Nuclear Energy” on 26 September 2024. It was devoted to the possible directions of interaction between the Ukrainian Society of Optics and Photonics and the Ukrainian Nuclear Society combining photonics and nuclear physics communities.
We announced the creation of the Ukrainian Optical and Photonic Society at several international conferences including NANO-2024 in Uzhhorod on 21 August 2024 (see the photo) and Hypercomplex Seminar 2024 on 14 September 2024.
