TGT’s 11th Student Mathematical Modelling and Information Technologies (SMIT) conference was held on 25-26 April at our Technology Centre, Kazan.

SMIT provides top engineering students with the opportunity to engage with leading industry experts. The conference mainly focuses on ‘best practice’ for modelling physical processes and the implementation of new mathematical signal processing techniques used in the oil and gas sector plus other industries.

University students registered their interest by submitting an abstract on www.smit-conference.com.

Abstracts were reviewed by a panel of academic society representatives and industry professionals. At the conference each participant was invited to deliver their 15-minute presentation. The best work was published in peer-reviewed scientific journals which is recognised by the State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles.
