National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University

Our research is organized into four main interdisciplinary clusters and two supplementary areas of research. Core areas connect physics, electronics, nanotechnology, as well as mechanical, geological, and environmental engineering. Two supplementary clusters span telecommunications, software engineering, and social sciences.

Each cluster operates across several research units, including School of Earth Sciences & Engineering, School of Energy & Power Engineering, School of Nuclear Science & Engineering, School of Non-Destructive Testing, School of Non-Destructive Testing, School of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, School of Engineering Entrepreneurship, Research School of High-Energy Physics, Research School of Chemistry & Applied Biomedical Sciences, and School of Core Engineering Education. In total, we have 55 research labs working to create a tightly-knit ecosystem that promotes innovation and industry collaboration.  

Our organizational structure is designed to serve our mission to be a leading academic research institution developing innovative solutions. We target both academia and industry in implementing our research effort.

Our infrastructure relies on strong linkages between research labs, centers, and departments, and we aim to promote culture of trust and collaboration. Our ultimate goal is to create synergies that facilitate interdisciplinary research and cooperation between various units glued together to serve one overarching goal.  

Our school receives over 120 patents annually, and we rank second among Russian universities in a number of supported patents. Our full-time research and teaching faculty numbers 1,166 people, including active and corresponding members of state academies of sciences. Further, webring industry professionals as well as faculty from teaching and researchschools to enhance quality of instruction and classroom discussion. We promotegrowth of both research skills and industry expertise; our graduate studentscollaborate with top researchers in their chosen fields of study. We have builta collaborative ecosystem that aims to develop research talent with focus onnatural sciences, engineering, and mathematics.
