A team of researchers and students led by Vitaly Stepanyants, Lecturer at the School of Computer Engineering of HSE MIEM, has developed a solution implemented at the Laboratory of Computer-Aided Design Systems of HSE MIEM, headed by Alexandr Romanov and Alexandr Amerikanov. For the first time worldwide, this system enables detailed simultaneous modelling of both environmental perception by automated vehicles and the propagation of connected transport signals. To date, there are no open-source programs comparable to the proposed environment.

Future cardiologists, geneticists, and IT specialists gathered at HSE University to learn how to 'read' DNA for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. They explored modern sequencing methods and the complexities of working with digital twins of cardiac patients.

An international team of researchers, including scholars from HSE University, has analysed how the number of non-academic staff affects a university’s performance. The study found that the outcome depends on the institution’s profile: in research universities, the share of administrative and support staff has no effect on efficiency, whereas in teaching-oriented universities, there is a positive correlation. The findings have been published in Applied Economics.

Researchers from the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences have found that Bitcoin price volatility can be effectively predicted using Ethereum, the second-most popular cryptocurrency. Incorporating Ethereum into a predictive model reduces the forecast error to 23%, outperforming neural networks and other complex algorithms. The article has been published in Applied Econometrics.

Researchers from the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems at HSE University's Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology are developing methods to reduce tumour cell resistance to drugs and to create more effective, personalised cancer treatments. In this interview with the HSE News Service, Diana Maltseva, Head of the Laboratory, talks about their work.

Researchers from the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the HSE University's Faculty of Physics have discovered how external forces affect the behaviour of turbulent flows. The scientists showed that even a small external torque can stabilise the system and extend the lifetime of large vortices. These findings may improve the accuracy of models of atmospheric and oceanic circulation. The paper has been published in Physics of Fluids.
