Could you please tell us about your educational and professional background?I studied Political Science at Karaganda State University from 2000 to 2004, then did my Master’s degree at Central European University (Public Policy, Decentralization Stream) from 2005 to 2006. After that, I worked as a researcher and project manager at Public Policy Research Center, then as an analyst, manager, and eventually a Deputy CEO at the National Analytical Center.

Professor also dreams of launching a nanosatellite, the development of which has already begun jointly with the space agencies of Kazakhstan and India. He spoke about these and other projects in our rubric interview.

Assistant Professor Viktor Brus from NU SSH and international co-workers reported highly transparent organic photoactive materials and published “Unraveling Device Physics of Dilute-Donor Narrow-Bandgap Organic Solar Cells with Highly Transparent Active Layers” in Advanced Materials volume 34, issue 31. They claim that next-generation photovoltaics will be lightweight, flexible, and (semi)transparent.

Organic photovoltaics offer sustainable, solution-processable, and cost-effective integrated energy harvesting solutions. While opaque organic solar cells underwent enormous progress in the past decade, it remains challenging to reach high performance and transparency in the visible spectral range simultaneously.

Scientists from Singapore, Japan, Korea, USA, Russia, Taiwan, Switzerland, Turkey, and Kazakhstan presented their theses this year. About 160 people, representatives of such international universities as Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Georgia Institute of Technology (USA), Tokyo Metropolitan University (Japan), Moscow State University (Russia), Ural Federal University (Russia), National Taiwan University and others participated in the conference.

Can you please tell us about your educational and professional background?NU is my first post-PhD academic position, and I have been here since 2016. I completed a Master’s and a Ph.

Can you tell us a little bit about your education and professional experience?In 2011, I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Buffalo, American State University of New York, majoring in Finance. At the same time, I worked at Aquasol Corporation as an international sales manager.

The monograph “Introduction to Educational Research: Theory, Methods, and Practices” is published in Kazakh and Russian. It will be helpful for graduate and doctoral students and school and college teachers interested in conducting research.

A new guest of “Galym-Galam” rubric is Dr. David De Remer joined NU GSB in 2020 as an Assistant Professor of Economics.

The Kazakhstan Chapter of WtERT opened at the NU School of Engineering and Digital Sciences (NU SEDS). NU Professor John Kim, Head of the Department of civil and environmental engineering at NU SEDS will lead this Chapter.
