    At ITMO, I realized that science is what I like doing. I was intrigued by my specialization’s interdisciplinary nature: it combines physics, chemistry, engineering, programming, and automation. One of my projects focuses on automating a mobile mini-laboratory for managing cell and bacterial systems. The laboratory is equipped with a robotic arm – the collaborative manipulator Rozum Pulse 90; it is designed to increase experiment replicability and minimize the risk of cell culture contamination. My role in this project is to develop automation methods for the laboratory, which includes training the robot to use various chemical equipment. Laboratories of this kind can already be seen in some Russian schools. My PhD studies are about more than just furthering my education; they are also an opportunity to do what I genuinely enjoy. It equips me with hands-on experience – and also proves useful in solving real-world tasks.
