IRET postgraduate student Ivan Ashaev won the third prize in the same nomination. Mr. Artur Gaisin, senior lecturer of the Department for Radio-Electronic and Telecommunication Systems, is the scientific supervisor of both winners.
“Our supervisor Artur Gaysin was the one who encouraged us to participate in the competition. He helped a lot in preparing for the competition. Furthermore, all necessary skills and knowledge I gained by studying at German-Russian Institute of Advanced Technologies (GRIAT) under the Communications and Signal Processing program assisted in addressing different issues for sure.
Honestly speaking, my win was a huge surprise but rather pleasant one. I didn’t believe it at first, I thought it was a prank. Anyway, I haven’t decided yet what to do with the prize.”, – said Daniil Chirkov.
