Another week, another student spotlight ✨

Between coding, football games, and late-night café explorations, Omar “Remo” Haj Muhammad is living it up at ITMO.

Walking through the city with music in my headphones makes me feel like the main character of a movie. I play football with friends, read, or explore new cafés. But honestly, my favorite ‘hobby’ might be people-watching. Sitting somewhere and observing life around me is cheaper than Netflix and often funnier.

Science without borders at ITMO 🌎

Meet Ivan Martinez, a Chilean researcher who has brought his passion for chemistry and water sustainability to ITMO University.

These past four years, I’ve been working on filtration membranes for seawater desalination. In Chile, this is a particularly relevant issue. We have these massive copper mines that require a great deal of water, and the only nearby source is the sea. Many regions of the country also experience a lack of clean water, so desalination is an issue of the mining industry as well as of public life and health.

Meet Suraj, an exchange student from Parul University 🇮🇳

A Bachelor’s student in computer science, Suraj came to ITMO to learn new skills, discover a new culture, and make new friends.

I wanted to try something completely new and see what it could bring out in me. Coming to a different country felt like a challenge that would help me grow academically and personally. I’ve struggled with social anxiety, so part of the decision was about pushing myself to open up and meet new people. ITMO offered a space to face my fears, and discover who I could become outside my comfort zone.
