‘In Cherdyn, It Feels Like You Have Reached the Edge of the Earth’
Dmitry Koshcheev began his journey in science back in school, but eventually chose economics and tourism over history. In an interview with the Young Scientists of HSE University project, he shared his experiences of researching the Visim neighbourhood in Perm, tourist clusters, and how he mastered analysing 300 sources a day.
Russian Scientists Integrate Microdisk Laser and Waveguide on a Single Substrate
A group of Russian scientists led by Professor Natalia Kryzhanovskaya at HSE Campus in St Petersburg has been researching microdisk lasers with an active region based on arsenide quantum dots. For the first time, researchers have successfully developed a microdisk laser coupled with an optical waveguide and a photodetector on a single substrate. This design enables the implementation of a basic photonic circuit on the same substrate as the radiation source (microlaser). In the future, this will help speed up data transfer and reduce equipment weight without compromising quality. The study results have been published in Semiconductors.

HSE University and Yandex Education Release Free Online Handbook in Math and Data Analysis
Experts from the HSE Continuing Education Centre, the Master's Programme 'Artificial Intelligence', and Yandex Education have developed and published a free math handbook in data analysis (in Russian). This is the seventh online publication in a series of digital self-study textbooks dedicated to specific IT areas.
MIEM HSE Establishes Telecommunications Research Institute
The institute will conduct fundamental and applied research in the development, analysis, and application of communication technologies with their subsequent commercialisation, as well as train development engineers for the telecom industry. Professor Evgeny Koucheryavy, Director of the MIEM Telecommunications Research Institute, has spoken to the HSE News Service about the goals, objectives, strategy and structure of the new organisation.
Considering News Background Can Improve GDP Projections in Periods of Instability
The accuracy of Russian GDP forecasts during periods of instability improves in 45% of cases when news reports are taken into account. However, during more stable periods, this advantage nearly disappears. News provides an up-to-date view of the economy and enables quicker responses to emerging challenges. This was revealed by an analysis of over 500,000 news reports conducted by Ivan Stankevich and Natalia Makeeva of the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences (FES), and Nikita Lyubaykin. The study results have been published in Voprosy Ekonomiki.
