Research Areas

The University takes part in the Governmental scientific and technical programs, Governmental and inter-college programs in the field of fundamental research . There is a number of research laboratories (Laboratory for Physical Studies, Ecology, Engineering Ceramics , Energy Audit , International Center for Advanced Studies).

The University has experimental facilities to manufacture the developments of its specialists.

Major Research Areas of the University (2011-2015):

1) Power supply reliability, electronic control systems for machine units and assemblies; non-destructive methods and means of control, diagnostics, monitoring and testing.

2) Physics of macro- and microscopic phenomena, nuclear physics technologies; optical technologies and systems.

3) Novel ceramic, nano- and microstructured materials, modeling and creating adaptive materials; metallurgy processes, casting alloy production , structure and properties of condensed media.

4) Energy efficient technologies, hydro- and gas dynamics, heat- and mass transfer in complex systems, media and substances.

5) Ecology, evaluation of environmental condition; methods of complex study and efficient development of mineral wealth.

6) Analysis, simulation, design and testing of machines, assemblies and units; high energy processes of material treatment and hardening and also coating formation.

7) Managing social processes and sustainable development of national economy; computer technologies, information resources and services.

There is a Specialized Examining Board at the University awarding Ph.D. degrees by thesis in «Electro Technical Complexes and Systems » and «Computer and electronic control system components and devices» specialities.

Annual International Scientific and Technical Conferences are held on the following subjects:

• «Present-Day Problems of Engineering Science» (Presenting papers in memory of P.O. Sukhoi)
• «The Problems of Regional Economy: Theory and Practice»
• «Mentality of Slavs and Integration Processes: History , Modern Times, Prospects»
• «Intercollege Conference of Students, postgraduate students for the Master’s and Ph.D. Degrees»

The University is one of the organizers of International Schools of High Energy Physics the meeting of which are held in Gomel.

The University maintains scientific relations with the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (the city of Trieste, Italy) Trieste and Padua Universities, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (the city of Doubna, Russia), Institute for Low Temperatures and Structural Study of Polish Academy of Science (the city of Wroclaw, Poland), the National Technical University of Ukraine «Kiev Polytechnic Institute» and with the number of scientific and educational centers of Germany, Norway, Spain and other countries.

There is a Research Sector at the University operating in the research areas of the University.

In 2002 the P.O.Sukhoi State Technical University of Gomel together with International Intergovernmental Organization «Joint Institute for Nuclear Research» including eighteen countries established International Center for Advanced Studies.
