Message from the New Acting Dean

A Time for Engineering Strength and New Opportunities for RBECS!

Dear colleagues, students, and alumni!

It is a great honor and responsibility for me to lead the Faculty of
Radiophysics, Biomedical Electronics and Computer Systems. Many people ask why
a graduate of the School of Physics and Technology is going to lead RBECS. My
answer is simple: I feel at home here. My wife, daughter, and best friends all
graduated from this faculty. I know its history, its current challenges, and
its enormous potential very well.

My professional journey has taken me from fundamental research at the
Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics to the demanding world of
technology business and the creation of successful commercial projects.
Today, I come to the faculty not merely as a candidate, but as a crisis
manager. I know how to transform a scientific formula into a working device,
and a device into a successful and financially sustainable project.

The world around us has changed dramatically, and we have no right to stand
still. RBECS must become the leading technology and innovation hub of our
University.

Educational Programs and State-Funded Places

The RBECS Faculty provides education through modern academic programs that
combine fundamental training in physics and mathematics, engineering
competencies, and information technologies.

  • Radiophysics and Programming Technologies, specialty E6
    “Applied Physics and Nanomaterials” (50 state-funded places,
    tuition fee — UAH 44,150 per year);
  • Biophysics, specialty E6 “Applied Physics and
    Nanomaterials” (9 state-funded places, tuition fee —
    UAH 44,150 per year);
  • Information Technologies for Complex Systems Control,
    specialty F6 “Information Systems and Technologies”
    (5 state-funded places, tuition fee — UAH 53,150 per year);
  • Biomedical Electronics and Computerized Systems,
    specialty G5 “Electronics, Electronic Communications, Instrumentation and
    Radio Engineering” (20 state-funded places, tuition fee —
    UAH 44,150 per year).

Our Direction: Systemic Transformation and New Specializations

I am proposing not cosmetic reforms, but a systemic transformation. Our key
managerial and educational priorities will be clearly defined:

  • Preserving our genetic code: Under no circumstances will
    we dismantle our fundamental core — advanced physics and mathematics. This
    is the foundation of our identity.
  • Modern engineering strength: We must build relevant
    engineering specializations on this foundation, as required by the modern
    world: FPGA, Embedded Systems, electronic warfare, and Software-Defined
    Radio. These areas are critically important to Ukraine’s defense industry
    and the wider technology market today.
  • Universal competencies: We will add two mandatory
    components to the educational process: legal training, so that engineers can
    protect their intellectual property and understand contracts, and project
    management, so that students can guide a development from an initial idea
    to serial production.

What Will Students Gain?

Today’s students do not want to wait four years simply to receive a diploma.
RBECS must and will become a powerful social and career elevator. My goal is
to introduce a model in which every year of study provides a clearly defined
applied qualification and contributes to a real portfolio of competencies. We
must graduate not merely specialists with diplomas, but professionals who are
highly sought after by industry.

The Synergy Model: Theorist + Engineer + Student

My management model is based on a synergistic triad: Theorist + Engineer +
Student.

  • Without a practicing engineer, even the most advanced scientific research
    risks remaining merely a stack of papers on a shelf.
  • Without a theorist, engineering loses its breakthrough potential and
    becomes mere craftsmanship.

In such working groups, our students will gain what is most valuable —
practical design and development experience through real defense, civilian,
and medical projects.

“I accept this challenge as Acting Dean with a clear understanding that there
will be no easy solutions and that we will have to work together to secure
resources and opportunities. My goal is to combine my business experience
with your scientific potential in order to identify new opportunities for
growth. Many challenges lie ahead, and I count on your support.”


With respect and confidence in our shared success,
Acting Dean of the RBECS Faculty Oleh Viktorovych Hlukhov
