We’re proud to share that Maxim Kiryukhin, Technical Project Manager at Accelerated Materials, was recently invited as a guest professor at the Department of Chemistry, L.N.Gumilyov Eurasian National University in Astana, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿.
Maxim delivered an intensive course on Nanochemistry and Nanotechnology to 3rd-year undergraduate students, combining theoretical foundations with hands-on lab work.
As part of the course, students used our K1 Start reactor and AM Learn platform to optimize process parameters for the production of vaterite (CaCO₃) nanoparticles at scale. The results were outstanding, a publication is now under consideration based on the outcomes of this teaching module.
Maxim also contributed to ongoing academic research by co-supervising:
– A PhD project on encapsulation of 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline using cyclodextrins and crown ethers through antisolvent precipitation.
– A Master’s thesis on MoO nanoparticle synthesis via the reduction of NaMoO₄ with NaBH₄.
Dr Eldar Kopishev, Head of the Department, shared:
“Here at the Department of Chemistry, there are several research groups working on a range of nanomaterials, from metal oxide nanoparticles to encapsulated antibiotics. And we have all discovered the K1 reactor, coupled with AM Learn software, as a very versatile piece of equipment able to deliver breakthrough products in the shortest time. Moreover, it is easy to install and use, and robust enough to run student projects. I would recommend it as a must for R&D labs developing nanomaterials by wet chemistry.”
We’re proud to support global research and education in advanced materials. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eC65i5vG
