Defense of master’s theses at the Department of CITDP NEWS On January 16-17, the defense of master’s theses under the educational and professional program “Computer-Integrated Systems and Technologies in Instrumentation” occurred at the Department of CITDP. Works on the following topics were submitted for defense: Automated laser surgical complex (Bohdan Bataliya, supervisor: Ph.D., Mykola Tereshchenko, associate professor); Recognition of fire outbreaks by small-sized UAVs (Svitlana Mandrovska, supervisor: Ph.D., Nataliya Stelmakh, associate professor); Control of the penetration of medicinal substances into biological tissues with an automated system of magnetic therapy (Rogozhnikov Roman, supervisor: Ph.D., Mykola Tereshchenko, associate professor); Automated surface type identification module for the bionic prosthesis system (Maryna Shchur, supervisor: Ph.D., Konstyantyn Vonsevych, associate professor); Assessment of the influence of ultrasound parameters on biological tissues during the action of an automated biomedical complex (Podsevak Dmytro, supervisor: Ph.D., Mykola Tereshchenko, associate professor); Automated module for spectral analysis of myographic signals (Tereshchenko Volodymyr, supervisor: Sc.D., Prof. Mykhailo Bezugliy); Optimization of the parameters of the information and measurement system for determining the index of refraction of the goniometric type (Romodan Olexandra, supervisor: Ph.D., Natalya Bezugla, associate professor); Automated control system of surface roughness parameters of details by optical method (Melnychuk Bohdan, supervisor: Ph.D., Shevchenko Vadym, associate professor); Control of the parameters of the ventilation pipelines of the ventilator apparatus (Yukhimenko Yuriy, supervisor: Ph.D., Nataliya Stelmakh, associate professor); Automated control system of photoplethysmogram parameters (Burkovskii Evhenii, supervisor: Ph.D., Natalya Bezugla, associate professor); Automated complex of functional diagnostics for early detection of pulmonary hypertension (Yakobchuk Yevhenii, supervisor: Ph.D., Tetyana Klochko, senior scientific associate); Automated product control system in the process of 3D printing (Druzev Maksym, supervisor: Ph.D., Dmytro Velygotskyi). Despite the difficult time and air worries, the applicants successfully presented their scientific results. They received positive evaluations, and the Examination Commission decided to award the second level of higher education, a “master’s degree in automation and computer-integrated technologies.” Congratulations to our graduates!
