Opening of the Master's Degree "Mathematical Modeling in Biomedicine and Oil and Gas Engineering"

From September 12, 2022, a scientifically master's degree will start at the Sirius Technological University - Mathematical Modeling in Bio to medicine and Neft gas Engineering. The university announced this on September 2, 2022. Specialists who have completed the course will help fill the gaps in the introduction, in Russian economy sanctions such important for countries industries the development of new drugs, biotechnology,. oil and gas sector

This is a special program developed by Russian experts. The purpose of the training is to train specialists in mathematical modeling for companies in the oil and gas industry, pharmaceutical industry, federal clinical centers and bioengineering research institutes. Such professionals are necessary for the Russian economy, especially given the relevance of the issue of import substitution, including in these sectors.

The relevance of the course is that the master's curriculum and the work programs of each of the disciplines are compiled by specialists directly involved in research work in these areas. This allows you to acquaint students with modern methods, approaches and problems in the relevant field and offer research work in demand by industrial and academic customers of these projects. In particular, the research work of students in pharmacology will accelerate and reduce the cost of developing new drugs in oncology, endocrinology, cardiology and immunology; will make cardiac valve reconstruction operations more effective. Research and development in the oil and gas sector will accelerate and reduce the cost of studying the filtration properties of the core, which will increase the efficiency of oil production, - said the head of the program, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, professor, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, head of the Scientific Direction "Mathematical Modeling in Biomedicine and Geophysics" of the Center for Information Technologies and Artificial Intelligence of the NTU "Sirius" Yuri Vasilevsky.

During the first year, students will study general disciplines: basics of programming, machine learning methods, numerical methods, mechanics of solid environments. Starting in the second year, the entire stream will be divided into three specializations: mathematical modeling in biomedicine, quantitative pharmacology and pharmacometrics, and mathematical modeling in oil and gas engineering.

This master's degree in Sirius will give a high level of education, including young specialists for the oil and gas industry. However, unlike training in specialized universities, at Sirius we are aimed at training, first of all, scientific personnel with the skills of entrepreneurs who are able to develop knowledge-intensive solutions on their own or among product teams, and apply a product approach in their practice, "said Vladislav Krutko, head of the competence center for physical and chemical modeling of the Scientific and Technical Center Gazpromneft, St. Petersburg. - In our NTC, we interact with multidisciplinary teams in the development of solutions, software and methods. The hearts of such teams are young, ambitious and very capable graduates of leading research universities of the Russian Federation. As practice has shown, fundamental knowledge of the natural sciences and programming skills give a strong advantage to young specialists in building a career in the oil and gas sector. We are waiting for such graduates.

If these specialists are not, then we will drink "fuflomycins" instead of drugs. We want to develop original medicines, in the action of which we are sure that we need these specialists. Ideally, at least one such specialist is needed for each research project. As of September 2022, 10-15 drugs are registered annually, but only 10% of all projects enter the market. Thus, we need at least 100 qualified specialists for the Russian pharmaceutical industry, - concluded Peskov.

Development of an educational program on cybersecurity together with RTK Solar

Experts from the company RTK Solar"" and the University "Sirius" have developed educational an intensity program for cyber security students of technical specialties who are just beginning to study the subject area. RTK Solar announced this on August 8, 2022. The pilot launch of the program took place from July 30 to August 7. About 60 the Russian university students from different regions took part in the Sirius Summer Cybersecurity School. During the program, they received practical knowledge of the directions of work of INFORMATION SECURITY specialists and practiced the skills of protection against cyber threats on the platform, National Cyber ​ ​ Police which was provided for the event by RTK Solar. The experts of the program were specialists from companies:, ",,," "and VKKaspersky Lab Greenatom RusHydroAnti-phishing others.

This educational program is practice-oriented and will help solve the problem of personnel shortages in the domestic cybersecurity market. According to various estimates, as of August 2022, this figure is from 20 to 50 thousand people annually and continues to grow.

Together with our partners, we have successfully tested an information security training module for future engineers and information technology specialists. Our plans are to replicate this experience throughout the country. We expect that in the future other educational organizations will be able to adopt this approach. Such intensities will help future engineers to form strong competencies for the protection of domestic industrial and information systems, as well as critical information infrastructure facilities, - said Lilia Kiryanova, First Vice-Rector of Sirius Scientific and Technological University.

During the Summer School for Cybersecurity, market experts introduced students to the peculiarities of the work of information security specialists financial in and, industrial industries talked about the specifics of the activities of the teams responsible for identifying in companies. cyber attacks In practical classes held on the platform of the National Cyber ​ ​ Police, students practiced skills in network security, infrastructure security analysis and other areas.

To conduct educational intensive, RTK-Solar experts have deployed a laboratory structure of a cyber polygon with digital copies of enterprises in various industries. Students broke down into teams, each of which worked with its own infrastructure throughout the program. Students had to put into practice the knowledge gained at lectures and set up the means of protecting the object allocated to them. The final was held in the format of full-fledged cyber exercises in conditions as close as possible to real life. Students trained to identify educational attacks aimed at weaknesses they did not take into account in the security system of the protected infrastructure. In the event of a successful cyber attack, participants had to find security holes and fix them with additional settings or installing security updates to prevent repeated incidents.

One type of training attack was phishing emails. The organizers provided each student with corporate mail and recreated incoming mail traffic by analogy with the real one in real enterprises. In a stream of legitimate letters, participants had to recognize malicious ones so as not to give a conditional attacker critical data about the company.

We built a training program in such a way as to show the guys what processes are in various organizations, and how cybersecurity services work in a particular industry in real life. For several days, students received up-to-date knowledge and skills in protecting against cyber threats, and in the final cyber exercises they applied them in practice. We are convinced that only such a practical-oriented approach to training will help ensure the training of qualified cybersecurity personnel, which our country urgently needs, "said Alexander Chechin, director of the National Cyber ​ ​ Police of RTK-Solar.

At the conclusion of the Summer School, students trained to be interviewed for work. The interviews were conducted by representatives of RTK-Solar and other players in the Russian cybersecurity market. Communication took place in the format of speed dating: 15 minutes were allotted for a conversation between students and each of the experts. Based on the results of the interview, students received feedback and recommendations for developing self-presentation skills in employment.

The Summer School of Cybersecurity was the first step of Sirius University to launch mass training programs in the field of information technology.
