The Laser Research Centre (LRC) at Vilnius University is pleased to share the latest news from the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (LMA) Higher Education Students’ Science Works Competition. Organized annually to promote student creativity and research excellence, the competition recognizes outstanding projects from various fields of science.
About the Competition
The LMA competition is designed to encourage students to explore innovative ideas and pursue rigorous scientific research. With projects spanning different disciplines, the event serves as a platform for emerging researchers to showcase their work and contribute to advancements in science and technology.
Nominee Highlights
Tomas Latvys
Tomas presented a theoretical study on a sub-nanosecond dual-pulse optical parametric amplifier. His research investigates advanced light amplification techniques that could contribute to future developments in laser technology. The study provides valuable insights into the performance and potential applications of optical parametric processes.
Simona Armalytė
Simona’s project focused on designing a sub-nanosecond pulsed optical parametric amplifier. By incorporating a fan-out grating design with an MgO:PPLN crystal and a continuous pumping scheme, her work aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of laser systems. This innovative approach reflects the practical and technical advancements needed in the field of optical engineering.
Jurga Jeršovaitė
Jurga’s interdisciplinary project, titled “Light-Assisted Microfabrication of Orthogonal and Hexagonal Lattices Influencing Neuronal Processes and Growth Cone Morphology,” explores the intersection of optical engineering and bioengineering. Her research looks at how precisely fabricated light-assisted structures can impact neuronal development, offering potential benefits for neural tissue engineering and biomedical applications.
Looking Ahead
Awards, including laureate diplomas and commendation letters, will be presented on April 8 at the LMA general assembly. The LRC is proud to support these budding researchers and looks forward to seeing how their work will influence future innovations in laser and optical science.
