Our research works are experimentally and theoretically oriented. Experimental works are conducted at the full-scale and laboratory scale. The full-scale experiments are related to investigations of size effects in concrete and reinforced concrete beams, stability problems in large metal silos with horizontally corrugated curved sheets strengthened by vertical columns, management and control of heat supply into and heat extraction from external walls containing embedded pipes in a residential house and fatigue in steel beams.
Bridge structures focus on road bridges, railway bridges and footbridges of different construction and materials, i.e., steel, concrete (reinforced and prestressed), composite. We perform theoretical and numerical analysis, field tests of the entire structure, and laboratory test of individual structural components.
This research area focuses on water flow in a variety of man-made and natural systems. We investigate engineering solutions for efficient management of water resources, including protection from floods and droughts, as well as the effect of engineering structures and land use change on natural hydrosystems. We cover most of the major hydrosystems, including rivers, channels, lakes, reservoirs, coastal marine waters, groundwater, urban water, pipelines and industrial systems.
Research problems in this scientific area include a wide range of pavement analysis in the field of roads, highways, airports and container terminals. Research conducted concerns laboratory tests, computational analysis and field tests.
The current research activities include numerical and experimental studies on the advanced problems in linear and non-linear mechanics of complex structures and structural elements. Static and dynamic issues are considered. Different modern and historic materials are considered and modelled. The following specific topics are under research:
Key words: Hamiltonian dynamics, periodic and connecting orbits, topological invariants, bifurcation theory, variational methods, estimation processes, Markov processes
The programme aims to prepare doctoral students for independent research in mathematics and give them the opportunity to become familiar with the latest results of scientific research in pure and applied mathematics. The programme includes obligatory and facultative courses as well as lectures by visiting professors.
The research in that field includes the light and charge particles interactions with atomic and molecular systems studied both experimentally and theoretically. Computational methods in atomic and molecular physics and theory of relativistic effects in atoms are also developed. Special attention is paid to molecular photophysics studies in which photophysical and photoelectric properties of organic materials are investigated.
As part of the research carried out in this area of research, both the foundations of theoretical physics and the application of mathematical methods in physics are developed. The experimental work includes both the development of new experimental methods and the application of the existing ones to applied physics research. Especially, in recent years. research in the field of quantum information theory, special functions, applied acoustics, organic photovoltaic cells and electromagnetic field propagation through plasmonic nano-systems are carried out.
1.1. Currently, there are many technologies for the purification of gaseous streams including biogas, natural gas, waste gas, and air. However, many of them are expensive, insufficiently effective, and require the use of toxic and corrosive solvents. Therefore, new solutions that meet the standards of green engineering are searched for.
