On the first Sunday of July, we honor the bravery, resilience, and dedication of the defenders of Ukraine’s maritime borders — the Ukrainian Navy.
Today, we extend our deepest gratitude to the sailors, navigators, communications officers, medics, cadets, and all those who serve at sea and onshore. You are the shield of the Black Sea and a symbol of dignity and courage in the face of modern warfare.
Your service is not just about holding the line — it’s about defending freedom, national honor, and Ukraine’s maritime identity.
The nation is proud of you!
Our department warmly congratulates all those involved in naval service on their professional holiday.
We wish you victories, calm seas, and safe returns.
Glory to the Ukrainian Navy!
Glory to Ukraine!

On June 28, we celebrate one of the most important national holidays — Constitution Day of Ukraine. On this day in 1996, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Constitution — a fundamental document that shaped the future of an independent, democratic, and lawful Ukraine.
The Constitution is more than a legal text — it is a symbol of freedom, dignity, and justice. It guarantees human rights and freedoms, and affirms the foundation of our statehood.
During these times of great challenge, we appreciate even more the true value of our Constitution. Today, it’s crucial to remember: the power of the law lies in its observance, and Ukraine’s future lies in unity and respect for everyone’s rights.
The department sincerely congratulates everyone on this important day!

The second day of the bachelor’s thesis defenses took place today at the Department of Physical Foundations of Electronic Engineering. The session was dedicated to research that combines fundamental science with advanced engineering technologies.

Topics presented on Day 2 included:
— Ultraviolet radiation — studies of its physical properties, absorption mechanisms in various materials and biological structures, as well as an analysis of the potential applications of UV lasers in medicine, environmental monitoring, industry, and safety.
— Laser technologies for unmanned systems — research into the physical principles, system designs, operational characteristics, and development trends of laser-based technologies in autonomous platforms.
— Fiber Bragg grating sensors — modern solutions for precise measurements and environmental monitoring using optical sensing techniques.
The Examination Committee noted the relevance of the topics, the technical depth of the research, and the high level of independence demonstrated by the students.

Today the Department of Physical Foundations of Electronic Engineering held the defense of bachelor’s qualification theses.

The students presented the results of their research in the fields of optical phenomena and systems, laser technologies, sensor applications, and modern information and measurement technologies. Many of the works were practice-oriented and based on real scientific and technical challenges. The Examination Committee commended the students for their solid preparation, the relevance of their topics, and their independent work.

On June 8, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics welcomed future students and their families to the vibrant and inspiring “NURE Open Day-2025”. High school students from Kharkiv and the region came to discover the world of cutting-edge science, technology, and education.

Across seven interactive locations, the University showcased its key achievements — from robotics to biomedicine, from programming to cybersecurity. A special highlight was the presentation of optical systems, prepared by the Department of Physical Foundations of Electronic Engineering (PFEE).

Today an extended meeting of the Rectorate was held at NURE to present the newly appointed Rector of the University. The Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, attended the event.
In his speech, Mr. Syniehubov acknowledged those who continue to actively contribute to the advancement of science despite the challenges of war. Among those recognized was Head of the PFEE Department, Oleksandr Hnatenko, who received warm congratulations on the occasion of Science Day. The entire department was also thanked for its significant contribution to education, science, and technology.
We sincerely appreciate this recognition and remain dedicated to developing science for the future of Ukraine.

On May 17, the Department of Physical Foundations of Electronic Engineering warmly congratulates all professors, students, PhD candidates, and researchers on the occasion of Science Day in Ukraine!

This celebration is a great opportunity to express our gratitude to those who work every day on discoveries, developments, and innovations, shaping the future of science and technology.

On May 16, the global community celebrates the International Day of Light, highlighting the vital role of light and light-based technologies in the advancement of science, industry, education, and culture.
For our department, this day holds particular significance. Research in optics, photonics, laser technologies, and quantum electronics is an integral part of our academic and scientific mission.
Light is the foundation of many future-oriented technologies — from fiber-optic communications and sensing systems to energy-efficient devices and quantum systems. Understanding its physical nature is key to innovation.
Today, we acknowledge the dedication of our faculty, researchers, and students who explore the nature of light and develop cutting-edge solutions that power the next era of electronics.
