About Department
The Technical Cryophysics chair is a part of physico- technical faculty. It was founded in 1977 by professor A.G.Podolskiy, the well-known scientist in the field of low temperature physics. We work in theoretical and practical usage of the modern technologies in the field of power mechanical engineering. Our graduate students have the fundamental knowledge and practical experience in the field of low-temperature power mechanical engineering, household and industrial refrigeration equipment, air conditioner and cleaning systems, cryobiological and cryomedical technologies, low-temperature solid-state physics and nanotechnologies.
The education and training of our students take place at our laboratories and at the Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the NAS of the Ukraine, and at the Institute of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine of the NAS of the Ukraine.
Our graduate students have the qualification: at the level of the bachelor – bachelor of power mechanical engineering; at the level of the expert – power engineer; at the level of the master – the professional on power and power mechanical engineering. Our department has the postgraduate course (aspirantura).
