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.

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.

The 2025 Nobel Prizes are here 🔥
This year’s laureates have changed how we see chemistry, physics, and medicine, and their work resonates with what our scientists and researchers do at ITMO.
➡️ The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for the creation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Valentin Milichko explains.
➡️ John Clarke, Michel Devore, and John Martinis received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their insights into macroscopic quantum tunneling, the phenomenon behind superconducting circuits and quantum computers. Ivan Iorsh sheds light on this topic.
➡️ This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for furthering the understanding of how our immune system protects us from diseases – and from itself. Learn more from Oleg Kuchur.
