Two teachers of the UrFU master’s programs Artificial Intelligence for Power Industry Applications and Energy for Smart Cities were included in the list of winners of the Grant Competition of the Vladimir Potanin Charitable Foundation in 2023. This is a competition for the full-time master’s degree teachers. The grant amount is up to 500 thousand rubles. When evaluating applications of competition participants, such criteria as the relevance of the educational product, the innovativeness of the proposed solutions and the possibility of use in distance learning were taken into account. In addition, applicants must have demonstrated their professional achievements, management competencies, and active participation in research and social activities.

Pavel Matrenin, Ph.D., leading researcher of the Scientific Laboratory of Digital Twins in the Power Industry received a grant for the development of an English-language course System Analysis. The course will be aimed at forming a comprehensive understanding of the application of methods of system analysis, mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence in the field of decision-making and design of intelligent information systems.

Stanislav Andreevich, a Ph.D., Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering, who received a grant for the development of an English-language online course Power Generation Technologies said the following:

“This course will be devoted to the issues of global energy transformation that currently takes place in the power industry worldwide. We live at a unique time when significant structural changes take place in the fuel and energy sector. Each day more and more countries and companies realize the need of decentralization management and development of clean, renewable energy. I am very glad that I will be able to share my knowledge and experience with students. This will be an online course, which will be available for studying during their own time. I hope that students will find answers to their questions about power industry technologies and become active participants of the global energy transformation.”
