GTU Scientists Participated in the Osaka International Exhibition in Japan

Scientists from the Department of Engineering Physics of the Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems of the Georgian Technical University, Paata Kervalishvili and Tamar Berberashvili, made presentations on the unique, high-tech research carried out by researchers from the GTU Department of Engineering Physics to scientists and visitors from different countries at the international exhibition (World Expo 2024 in Osaka, Japan) held in the city of Osaka, Japan.

Scientists from the Department of Engineering Physics of the Georgian Technical University at the Osaka World Expo, dedicated to the development of modern energy technologies and the presentation of innovative solutions related to the “Green transformation”, were at the special invitation of the exhibition organizers.

As Professor of the Department of Engineering Physics at GTU – Paata Kervalishvili notes, the Georgian Technical University presented unique research at the Osaka exhibition, which includes technologies for obtaining solar cells based on the laser-plasma method, the creation of important elements of laser-nuclear synthesis (proton-boron), the production of spintronic and spin qubit elements, and the use and development of vibrational-resonance methods of optical (laser) spectrometry in the biomedical field.

“It is noteworthy that at the Osaka World Expo, with the support of Japanese government organizations, the Georgian Technical University was equipped with a special exhibition space. For three days, with Professor Tamar Berberashvili, we had the opportunity to meet with scientists, experts, and representatives of the business sector and the medical field, to hold interesting presentations and conversations about the unique and high-tech research that a group of scientists from the Department of Engineering Physics at our university conduct. In particular, we focused on the concepts and technologies of obtaining silicon graphene and other nanosystems and nanodevices through laser-induced plasma. We also introduced the audience to laser-resonance methods for researching bionanosystems and multidisciplinary treatments of vibrational spectroscopy, which we created using modern information-technological approaches.

It is gratifying that visitors to the Georgian Technical University pavilion at the Osaka Expo were very interested in learning about the recent achievements of the university and its scientists, as well as the multifaceted innovative potential of our country, especially in education and science. It is no less important that we plan to organize a cycle of Japanese-Georgian conferences shortly, and we will start working on creating joint research projects in collaboration with Japanese colleagues,” says Paata Kervalishvili.

For your information, more than 1,200 advanced and cutting-edge technological achievements from around the world were presented at the Osaka Expo in Japan, which was viewed by more than 20,000 visitors.
