About the program

The Master’s program trains experts in laser and synchrotron technologies who will develop functional materials and data transfer systems for high-tech applications.You’ll learn to:

– develop cyberphysical networks based on laser technologies;
– design and implement advanced data transmission technologies;
– develop technologies for data collecting, processing, and analysis in comprehensive research experiments;
– generate and study new functional materials for laser and synchrotron technologies.

You’ll master:

– the basics of optoelectronics (component base, data transmission, processing systems, and device design – lasers, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors)
– operation of laser and synchrotron equipment;
– methods for big data processing;
– use of AI and machine learning for interpreting research results, engineering developments, and experiments;

Thanks to the program’s interdisciplinary approach, students will acquire skills across the following fields:

– optical and quantum communications;
– electronics;
