To broaden graduate students' horizon and help them better understand foreign research directions and status,Professor Shao Jingai invited Professors Elena Krivoshapkina and Pavel Krivoshapkin from ITMO University t give a lecture on the afternoon of May 24th, 2024. Two professors delivered wonderful English academic lectures on "3D printing of hydrogels for various applications" and "Ceramic nanoantennas for targeted cancer therapy and diagnostics" in the N102 conference room of the Clean Energy Building.
Starting from the rise of 3D printing technology, Professor Elena Krivoshapkina first introduced the classification, main research directions, and existing problems of 3D printing technology. Then, she introduced the types of 3D printing inks, highlighting the impact of ink properties on the results. Based on this, she introduced 3D printing inks prepared from biomass materials and introduced the types, production mechanisms, and advantages of existing research directions of biomass materials. Finally, taking wound healing as an example, comparing the 2D and 3D printing techniques on wound repairing region and highlighting the prospects of 3D printing.
Professor Pavel Krivoshapkin used targeted cancer therapy and diagnostics as a case study to introduce the problems of existing radiotherapy, the limitations of existing radiosensitizers, and the application value of ceramic nanoantennas as radiosensitizers. By explaining the working principle of ceramic nanoantennas, Professor Pavel described the multiple advantages and feasibility of ceramic nanoantennas compared to traditional radiosensitizers.
After this lecture, the students gained knowledge of the cutting-edge fields of biomass applications. Through exchange with foreign scholars, they improved their English proficiency. The students were greatly inspired by this lecture, and the communication with foreign scholars also provided guidance on their future research work.
