The autumn semester ended with joyful events for LIMU. D. Nikolaev and S. Petrosyan received postgraduate diplomas. Postgraduate student A. Krokhmal won the coursework competition in the framework of teaching the use of neural networks in scientific research. 2nd year students of magistracy P. Pestova and L. Kotelnikova received scholarships from the Basis Foundation. And LIMU employees won the competition for works contributing to the solution of the tasks of the Development Program of Moscow University.

Scientific project of LIMU research fellow Timofey Krit «Mechanical elasticity of tissue-like materials for tissue engineering» is supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. Congratulations to Timofey!

V.A. Khokhlova presented a lecture on "Nonlinear HIFU: Modeling, Sources, and Bioeffects" at October 28, 2021 webinar of the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU). The lecture covered various aspects of nonlinear effects in HIFU, from basic wave phenomena to current clinical applications.

October 15, 2021, at the invitation of the organizers of the physics section of the Central House of Scientists, Professor O.A. Sapozhnikov gave a lecture on the topic "Modern problems of medical acoustics", in which he spoke about the current state of research in the field of medical ultrasound imaging and therapy.

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.
