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.

Meet Manish Mishra, an exchange student from India 🇮🇳

A Bachelor’s student in computer science and engineering at Lovely Professional University, Manish is currently exploring big data and ML at ITMO. What’s his day at the university like?

[It] starts with lectures and lab classes. Then, I spend time coding or working on projects. Evenings are often for exploring the city, trying out local food, or meeting other international students. Weekends are perfect for trips. One memorable experience was at Yagodnoe , where we camped in the forest, picked berries, cooked barbecue, and even visited the old station nearby. Those trips really help you bond with people and experience Russian nature in its purest form.


Curious to know more about student life through Manish’s eyes? Read the full interview on ITMO.NEWS ⬅️
