Our academic staff includes professor, 11 associate professors, 9 senior lecturers, 2 assistants.
The following are the major areas of research in the department of medical and biological physics:
- investigation of the biomedical objects surface morphology with atomic force microscopy;
- study of the biological objects structure by spectroscopic methods (IR spectroscopy and the method of fluorescence probing);
- study of the statics and dynamics of the flow of non-Newtonian fluid in the elements of the arterial system: narrowing, bending, bifurcation, stenosis;
- study of the stress-strain state of an atherosclerotic plaque in the area of the arterial bed bifurcation;
- study of the nonlinear wave processes in viscoelastic tubes;
- study of the physical properties of composite ion-plasma coatings of the cutting surgical and technological instrument;
- modification of the structure and properties of solids by high-energy heavy ion beams.
- study of the influence of the irradiation conditions and the degree of doping of the initial crystals on the efficiency of the formation of radiation defects in n- and p-type silicon crystals;
- analysis of images of the dynamic medical objects;
- study of the effects of electromagnetic fields and radiation on the water structure;
- biophysics education research focusing improving student success in medical and biophysics courses.
23 articles and 21 abstracts were published over the past year. The department has taken an active part in the 13 scientific conferences over the past year.
