Research, commitment, collaboration: Kyiv Polytechnic scientist completes her internship at CEITEC BUT

From 22 March to 6 April 2025, Dr Olha Shtofel, Associate Professor at the Department of General Physics and Modelling of Physical Processes of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, was doing her research internship at the CEITEC (Central European Institute of Technology) Brno University of Technology (BUT) within the framework of a joint project under the ERASMUS+ programme.

During her internship at CEITEC BUT, Dr Shtofel conducted experiments in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) on crystals of silicon carbide (SiC), using the unique FRASCAN spectrometer. The experiments were carried out at high microwave frequencies and under magnetic fields in a wide temperature range.

In addition to her experimental work, Dr Shtofel took part in a scientific seminar, and excursions to clean and ultra-clean laboratories, as well as toured materials science and chemistry laboratories – immersing herself in the vibrant research environment at CEITEC BUT. CEITEC Brno University of Technology is part of the CEITEC Centre of Scientific Excellence. Since 2011, it has been a key part of a cutting-edge research infrastructure with unique equipment and conditions for basic and applied research in the field of advanced nanotechnology, advanced materials and cybernetics.

This collaboration between Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and CEITEC BUT highlights their growing international ties and shared commitment to research excellence.
