Within the framework of the scholarship, Elena Zharkikh undergoes an internship at the research group of Prof. Meglinsky at the University of Oulu. Our university has signed a memorandum of understanding with this university, joint research is actively conducted with the Biophotonics group of the Optoelectronics and Measurement Techniques Research Unit. During her internship, Elena also took part in the exhibition of the student optics and photonics chapter of the University of Oulu during Abi Days - the university's open doors days, when high school students can come to familiarize themselves with the existing curriculum at the university. Also during this period, students talk about their own areas of study. This activity is aimed at enhancing communication and exchange of experience between the student optics and photonics chapters of our university and the University of Oulu.
