In September 2021, a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control was published devoted to histotripsy. One of the organizers and editors of the issue was V.A. Khokhlova; 4 articles were co-authored with LIMU team.

LIMU members Petr V. Yuldashev, Maria M. Karzova, Timofey B. Krit and Anastasia V. Lapina passed through the faculty competition for new positions. Congratulations and wish them further career success!

The bank of LIMU's achievements is growing. Azamat Kaloev and Ksenia Tumanova received FUSF grants for scientific research during the summer of 2021. Ksenia won a prize in the competition of scientific student graduation works named after R.V. Khokhlova. Postgraduate student Dmitry Nikolaev received the ASA-2021 student award of the American Acoustic Society for success in scientific work, his project became the winner of the UMNIK competition. Alisa Krokhmal, a postgraduate student, received a scholarship from the Intellect Foundation for teaching the use of neural networks in scientific research.

Scientific project of LIMU research fellow Pavel Rosnitskiy «Multiparameter approach to solving the problem of mechanical destruction of prostate tumors using high intensity focused ultrasound pulses» is supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation.

The team of students of the laboratory became the winner of the competition of scientific and technical initiatives of the Lomonosov Moscow State University «Science XXI». The project is dedicated to the development of amplitude-phase masks for single-element acoustic transducers. The team included PhD students Nikolayev Dmitry and Asfandiyarov Shamil, as well as bachelor students Kaloev Azamat and Krendeleva Anna.

PhD student Alisa Krokhmal became a laureate of the Rector's scholarship of the Moscow State University for 2021 and she also got the scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation for 2021-2022 for joint research with the 3D Bioprinting Solutions on the topic of ultrasonic manipulation of small biological objects - tissue spheroids.

LIMU students and postgraduates took part in the conference "Lomonosov-2021" and in the school-seminar "Waves-2021" organized with the support of the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. Both events were held remotely. In total, 11 reports were presented from LIMU.

In June 2021, LIMU team took an active part in international symposiums and conferences. The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) meeting was held virtually from June 8 to 10, 2021. Our laboratory at the meeting was represented by Petr Yuldashev with an invited talk. From June 6 to 9, 2021, the 20th Annual International Symposium for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU-2021) was held in a hybrid format, in-person part taking place in Gyeongju, Korea. Overall, 11 talks were presented at the conference in collaboration with LIMU scientists.

Despite the remote work and studying, the collection of LIMU students’ and postgraduates’ achievements was actively replenished with new awards, grants and scholarships! E. Konnova, L. Kotelnikova, P. Pestova, Sh. Asfandiyarov and E. Ponomarchuk won scholarships from the “BASIS” Foundation for future MSc and PhD students of Physics Faculty. K. Tumanova, A. Kunturova, A. Tsekhanovich, A. Kaloev, E. Konnova and A. Podyman received the State Enhanced Academic Stipend. D. Chupova and E. Konnova were awarded grants from FUSF and presented their results at the 7th International Symposium on Focused Ultrasound. L. Kotelnikova and P. Pestova received personal stipends named after famous scientists, A.N. Tikhonov and M.V. Lomonosov. And also E. Ponomarchuk has replenished LIMU award collection with personal V. Potanin scholarship. Congratulations!

On October 10, 2020, within the framework of the All-Russian Festival of Science, LIMU PhD student Alisa Krokhmal gave an online lecture on the topic "Ultrasound as a tool for biofabrication", and also starred with Associate Professor S.A. Tsysar in a story about modern science for the news channel Russia-1.
