\"\"<\/a>19-year-old Aivar is not one of those funkillers or nerds who touches a ball with a ten foot pole. He loves football since his childhood in Taraz. However, he began to tune into the beat of physics later, in the 7th grade of the Kazakh-Turkish lyceum. Taking part in the Olympiads, he did not notice how he became a student seriously studying this science. Later there was a win in the competition<\/a> of Academician Sh. Yessenov foundation and a traineeship at the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What was the competition<\/a> for traineeship grant best remembered for?
\n<\/strong>Other competitors and their stories. Each of the participants deserved this grant, and I was interested to find out what motivates them to pursue science. At the beginning of the second round, I was a little bit excited because I had not participated in such competitions before. Nevertheless, when we started to solve team tasks, the excitement left me, and I was only thinking about how to solve those tasks.<\/p>\n

What did you do during the traineeship?
\n<\/strong>I studied materials with a relatively new stage of substance. It is called topological insulators. My goal was to study the contribution of these insulators to the movement of acoustic waves (sound). I learned to use the COMSOL Multiphysics<\/a><\/strong>, which is widely used for analysis and simulation in physics research. I acquired wealth of experience and even managed to travel a bit around the country, since nature in Switzerland just obliged me to do this. By the way, I also did not forget about football. I went to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bvisited the famous Camp Nou<\/a><\/strong> football stadium, with what I am happy to the max. During the internship, I discovered a new hobby \u2013 hiking.<\/p>\n

What did you manage to achieve at the internship, and what did you come short of?
\n<\/strong>The subject I studied turned out to be more complicated than I expected. During the traineeship, I was not able to complete the work to publish it. However, having returned to Kazakhstan, I put the finishing touches to my part of the project and now I am looking forward to good news from the colleagues from Lausanne. We hope that our article will be published in the near future. Another important point for me was that I received a good recommendation from Professor Romain Fleury<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What will happen next?
\n<\/strong>Now I am looking for companies to undertake my summer traineeship in 2020. I want to try myself in industry to choose what to take up \u2013 academic research or industry. I am preparing for the upcoming doctoral exams; I hope to enter a good university. Perhaps I will continue to study topology<\/a><\/strong>. And in my free time I prepare schoolchildren for Olympiads. I like to watch their progress \u2013 it is inspiring.<\/p>\n

Update
\nWhat are you doing now, when the borders are still closed?
\n<\/strong>I am applying to universities in the United States for a joint master’s and doctoral program. It usually takes more than six years to graduate, and eventually you can get a PhD. Despite the fact that I specialize in physics, I decided to make a shift to electrical engineering, that\u2019s how an internship at EPFL influenced me. Last summer, by the way, I did an internship at CERN<\/a><\/strong> (Switzerland). However, it’s a pity that the program was held online due to the pandemic.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
