From November 9 to November 15, Professor Chander Prakash, Vice-Rector of Sanskaram University (Haryana, India), paid a working visit to the Institute of Nanotechnology, Electronics and Instrumentation of the Southern Federal University.
Sanskaram University is the best private university in the Indian state of Haryana, which offers more than 150 bachelor's, master's and postgraduate degree programs. Sanskaram University has a well-developed research and entrepreneurial ecosystem, focusing on research and innovation.
Professor Chander Prakash is one of the world's leading researchers in the field of functional materials, biomaterials and additive manufacturing, and is among the Top 2% of the most cited scientists on the planet (h-index – 72).

Dr. Prakash also heads the research laboratory of the Southern Federal University, the Laboratory of 3D Bioprinting Technologies for Flexible Microelectronics project within the framework of the Priority 2030 strategic academic leadership program, the strategic project of the SFedU "Technologies of Multifunctional Microelectronics and Intelligent Sensors for Biohybrid and Cyberphysical Systems".
One of the main objectives of the visit was to discuss the results of the work of the research laboratory of 3D bioprinting technologies for flexible microelectronics, to set new tasks and develop an action plan for 2026.

Dr. Chander Prakash also visited the scientific laboratory "Neuroelectronics and Memristive Nanomaterials" (NEUROMENA), in which he participated as a leading researcher in the implementation of the mega-grant (project "Hybrid neuroelectronics of robotic complexes and artificial intelligence systems based on biocompatible memristive nanomaterials", Agreement No. 075 15-2022-1123 (internal project number No. S7/22-02-EP)).
On November 13, 2025, with the participation of Professor Ch. Prakash held a seminar on BIOCOMPATABLE TECHNOLOGIES FOR NEUROMORPHIC APPLICATIONS, where graduate and undergraduate students of the Institute of Nanotechnologies, Electronics and Equipment Engineering Erdem Koshuju, Daniel Rodriguez Salazar, Maxim Kartel, and Daniil Khakhulin, M.Sc. from the Laboratory of 3D Bioprinting Technologies of Flexible Microelectronics, presented their reports in English.
On November 14, Professor Chander Prakash delivered a major lecture “Combining neuromorphic electronic devices and biocompatible 3D printing: challenges and prospects” to the laboratory staff.

During the visit, negotiations and working meetings were held with Professor Chander Prakash. Alexander Fedotov, Acting Director of the Institute of Nanotechnologies, Electronics and Equipment Engineering, Vladimir Smirnov, Head of the Department of Radio Engineering Electronics and Nanoelectronics, and Ekaterina Korman, Deputy Director for International Affairs, participated in the negotiations on behalf of SFedU.
Agreements have been reached regarding the submission of a joint application for the RNF mega-grant in December 2025, the publication of joint scientific articles in journals with a high impact factor, the involvement of 1-3 Indian postdocs in the SFedU Institute of Nanotechnologies, Electronics and Equipment Engineering and the implementation of joint educational programs.
Starting in September 2026, Dr. Prakash will give a course of lectures at the SFedU on the methodology of research on the properties of nanomaterials.

The organizers of this visit were Vladimir Smirnov, Head of the Department of Radio Engineering Electronics and Nanoelectronics, and Ekaterina Korman, Deputy Director for International Affairs.
Professor Chander Prakash's next visit is scheduled for March-April 2026.
