There are 6 departments at the Faculty of Electronics and Computer Technologies.

  • Department of Optoelectronics and Information Technologies,
  • Department of Radioelectronic and Computer Systems,
  • Department of Radiophysics and Computer Technologies,
  • Department of Sensory and Semiconductor Electronics,
  • Department of System Design,
  • Department of Physical and Biomedical Electronics.

The main scientific and pedagogical interests of the Department of Optoelectronics and Information Technologies cover optoelectronics and artificial intelligence systems. In particular, we are talking about the recording, processing, transmission and display of information, digital signal and image processing, pattern recognition, computational linguistics and natural language processing, complex systems and networks, expert systems, knowledge bases, neural networks, intelligent sensors, radiological systems, monitoring, etc.

The Department of Radioelectronic and Computer Systems conducts scientific research in the following areas:

  • development of sensors based on porous silicon, experimental and theoretical study of their properties, creation of software for processing signals from sensors;
  • computer modeling of complex systems using parallel multiprocessor computing technologies;
  • modeling of electronic processes in graded-gap semiconductors and devices based on them;
  • development of “smart home” systems based on modern microcomputers and microprocessors.

The main direction of scientific work of the Department of Radiophysics and Computer Technologies is mathematical modeling of processes in physics and radio electronics, physical properties of local centers, nanometric phases and crystals with structural phase transitions, automation of a physical experiment.
