Graffiti with the image of Nobel laureate Zhores Alferov appeared at Polytechnic University

The Nobel Prize winner, an outstanding scientist whose biography is closely intertwined with the life of SPbPU, Zhores I. ALFYOROV became the new hero of Vasily TsVETKOV's graffiti.

Zhores Alferov often emphasized the role of Polytechnic University in his life. In 1987, Polytechnic University contributed to the birth and formation of the Physics and Technology Lyceum (one of Alferov's favorite brainchildren), providing it with university space and assistance in organizing the educational process. In 1988, Zhores Alferov established at SPbPU the Faculty of Physics and Technology, which became one of the best physics faculties in the Soviet Union. When in 2015 the faculty merged into the SPbPU Institute of Physics, Nanotechnology and Telecommunications, Alferov became the scientific director of the latter. On the basis of our university, the scientific and methodological council on physics under the Ministry of Education and Science was established, in which leading scientists of SPbPU took part. Alferov was the head of the council.

In March 2020, the grand opening of the memorial plaque to Zhores I. Alferov took place. And now the university grounds are also decorated with a portrait of the Nobel laureate!
