Artem Kovalskyi, a student at the National Technical University «KhPI,» became the first Ukrainian representative in history to attend the 4th International Scientific Symposium on Student Research in Mathematics and Statistics in the United States. In his presentation, he presented the results of a study dedicated to current issues in mathematical statistics and computational methods that have broad practical applications in modeling complex processes. The young researcher from Kharkiv Polytechnic actively participates in scientific and practical conferences, has publications, and is the winner of three all-Ukrainian student research competitions. The event brought together over 270 scientists and specialists from 45 countries, during which more than 70 presentations were delivered.
Artem Kovalskyi is a student at the Educational and Scientific Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Transport at the National Technical University «Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute» (NTU «KhPI»). In his presentation at the 4th International Scientific Symposium on Student Research in Mathematics and Statistics (4th International Mathematics and Statistics Student Research Symposium – IMSSRS) he presented a research paper on «Modeling Highly Flexible Adaptive Sigmoid Functions.» As a result of his presentation, the student from Kharkiv Polytechnic received an international certificate, and the abstract of his report was included in the official conference proceedings. The program of the international symposium in the United States included more than 70 presentations selected by an international organizing committee, which included leading researchers from U.S. universities (Grand Valley State University, UNC Wilmington, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, University of Guam, Virginia Commonwealth University). Information about the symposium was published in the official calendar of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), confirming its high scientific status and international recognition. The conference was held with the support of leading mathematics departments at U.S. universities—Grand Valley State University, Virginia Commonwealth University – and the African Mathematical Union (AMU).
Participation in events of this caliber gives young Ukrainian scientists the opportunity not only to present their own research to the global community but also to strengthen the reputation of the domestic engineering and mathematics schools on the international stage.
As a reminder, in 2025 Artem Kovalskyi became a participant in the prestigious international program Study Tours to Poland. He is actively engaged in research work at the Department of Higher Mathematics at NTU «KhPI,» has published scientific papers, participates in scientific and practical conferences, and is the winner of three All-Ukrainian competitions for student research papers.
Note:
International Mathematics and Statistics Student Research Symposium (IMSSRS) is a global scientific initiative that has been running since 2023 and brings together researchers from every continent. In 2026, representatives from 45 countries and territories joined the symposium, including the United States, Canada, Western European countries, Asia, and Africa. The participation of a representative from Ukraine— a student from NTU «KhPI»—marked an important step in expanding the geographical reach of the symposium’s scientific community to the Eastern European region. The 4th International Scientific Symposium on Student Research in Mathematics and Statistics took place on April 11, 2026, in the United States.
