Congratulations to research fellow of LIMU Maria Karzova with the three year scholarship of the President of Russia. The stipend supports young scientists performing research and development in priority areas of modernization of the Russian economy.

Student of our Laboratory Marina Terzi received the 3rd degree award at the competition of the final qualifying works of bachelors of the Physics Faculty of Moscow State University (2016). Marina's work is devoted to theoretical and experimental study of a special type of wave beams - vortex ultrasonic beams. Our congratulations to Marina with another success!

In June 2016 LIMU team has participated in XV Russian school-seminar «Wave phenomena in heterogeneous media» named after Professor Anatoliy Sukhorukov. Staff members and students of LIMU gave oral presentations and took an active part in work of school.

Students of LIMU Marina Terzi, Dima Sukhoruchkin, Katya Ponomarchuk, and Nastya Bobina gave talks at the conference «Lomonosov 2016». Marina Terzi talked about vortex acoustic beams. Dima Sukhoruchkin showed a model of virtual ultrasound scaner. Katya Ponomarchuk presented morphological analysis of histotripsy lesions in biological tissues. Nastya Bobina demonstrated how to use CT-images for nonlinear modeling of focused ultrasound beams propagating through inhomogeneous human tissues. Congratulations to our young colleagues with successful talks!

A Ph.D. student of LIMU Maria Karzova brilliantly defended her thesis "Nonlinear focusing and reflection of shock acoustic waves: applications in medical ultrasound and aeroacoustics" on 10th of March 2016 in Moscow. In 2012 she got a Ph.D. scholarship "cotutelle" from the French government and then performed her thesis in collaboration between Moscow State University and Ecole Centrale de Lyon. Finally, Maria got her Ph.D. from both universities. Congratulations to Dr. Karzova!

LIMU team has participated in International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU16). The Symposium was organized and held by the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) during March 14 - 17, 2016 at Dan Panorama hotel, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Our graduate Pavel Rosnitskiy received a Second Degree Award for his diploma project "Effect of the angular aperture of medical ultrasound transducers on the parameters of nonlinear ultrasound field with shocks at the focus". Well done Pasha!

Petr Yuldashev received a Scholarship of the Rector of Moscow State University for 2016 year. Congratulations Petr, well deserved!

V.A. Khokhlova and O.A. Sapozhnikov gave lectures at the Institute of Acoustics, School of Physics of Nanjing University in China. Prof. Khokhlova presented a talk "Methods of characterizing medical ultrasound fields using nonlinear simulations with a boundary condition obtained from measurements" and Prof. Sapozhnikov talked on "Acoustic fountains, ultrasonic atomization, and their possible role in the biological tissue damage by HIFU". Slogan for the students at the entrance to the university: be honest, be strong, study well, and work hard.

Nastya Nikolaeva and Alyona Annenkova received a Student Award 2015 from the Acoustical Society of America to assist the research of promising graduate students in acoustics. Congratulations Alyona and Nastya!

In October 2015 Dr. Wayne Kreider and Dr. Adam Maxwell from the Center for Industrial and Medical Ultrasound (University of Washington, Seattle) visited LIMU and gave seminars.
