Physics, mathematics and astronomy | Open Doors Day at IPM KBSU

On October 26, high school students got acquainted with the advanced areas of training at the Institute of Physics and Mathematics of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H.M. Berbekov. Professor, Head of the Department of Theoretical and Experimental Physics Murat Khokonov greeted future applicants and spoke about the prospects for employment after graduating from IPM. The scientist drew attention to the fact that the students of the institute have a unique opportunity to study professional English, which greatly expands their professional opportunities.

Then the guys went on a tour of the institute. In the laboratory of medical physics, schoolchildren got acquainted with the unique developments of students and teachers of KBSU, learned about the demand for specialists in this field, without which many modern types of diagnostics are impossible. In the same place, potential applicants were lucky to talk with Rezuan Ganigapshev, a graduate of the Department of Medical Physics. The young specialist spoke about how he came to the choice of higher education after graduating from the Medical College of the KBSU, and about his work on a linear accelerator in the oncological dispensary in Pyatigorsk.

«For a year now, every day I go to work in Pyatigorsk, the road is not easy, but I want to go. I like that I help people», — Rezuan Ganigapshev speaks about his work.

In the laboratory, future applicants were told about the principle of operation of devices used by medical physicists and were offered to try out for themselves how the ECG apparatus and dosimeter work. High school students studied the operation of devices with interest, everyone wanted to feel like a medical physicist.

The children were interested in mathematics by the deputy director of IFIM Zhamal Zhaboev. He gave a short lecture, from which they learned about how mathematicians derived the number pi and learned how to measure a circle. The tour ended at the KBSU planetarium, where high school students watched a film about astronomy.

«Today we had guys who said that they came to all the open days of KBSU and they liked it most of all at our place. We hope that in the next admission campaign they will definitely come to enter our university», — Zhamal Zhaboev, Deputy Director of IFM, shared his impressions.
