Over the years, I conducted more than 270 interviews with international students, and each story offered something both unique and relatable. Prospective students later told me that these interviews helped them imagine the life they might have at ITMO. Knowing that the work had a real impact made it worthwhile.

What’s been happening at ITMO this week? Catch up on the highlights below:
🚴♂️ ITMO’s 24th Bike Ride with the Rector took place on September 8. Students, graduates, faculty, and staff joined the traditional bike trek and shared their plans for the new academic year.
⚡️ ITMO physicists have shown that an electron beam can emit microwave photons even in an area with no magnetic field. Their calculations bring us one step closer to understanding how twisted electrons behave in real accelerators and microscopes.
🔬 Researchers from ITMO have proposed a new design for an ultrasensitive terahertz sensor. The solution could be used in medical diagnostics and industrial quality control.
And now, some posts worth revisiting from this week:
📢 The call for international academic exchange is open until September 21! There are 40+ universities around the globe to choose from.
🍁 Have the best fall in St. Petersburg with our monthly selection of must-dos, from picturesque walks to niche cinemas.
