INRTU postgraduate student Nguyen Khac Hoang Duong participated in Baikal Scientific School «Physical Processes in Space and Near-Earth Environment»

The organizers are the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Irkutsk State University, the Faculty of Physics of Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian New University. More than 150 young scientists fr om Russia, Mongolia, Belarus, and Azerbaijan took part in the Baikal Scientific School.

Baikal Scientific School on fundamental physics was dedicated to the issues of space weather, the influence of the Sun on the interplanetary environment and the near space that is being explored by humanity. All in all, the contestants presented 76 poster presentations and 65 oral reports. They investigated astrophysics and physics of the Sun, physics of the Earth's atmosphere, diagnostics of natural heterogeneous media and mathematical modeling.

Plenary reports were presented by well-known scientists from Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Sevastopol, Irkutsk and Nizhny Arkhez.

Hoang Nguyen is a second-year postgraduate student at the School of High Technologies of INRTU. He came to Russia in 2015 from Vietnam to study in Yaroslavl. Aleksandr Poletaev, associate professor at the Department of Radioelectronics and Telecommunication Systems, recommended the postgraduate student to participate in the Baikal Scientific School. At the conference the young scientist presented a report on «Development of a method to search and detect solar flare effects in amplitude variations of very high-frequency waves signals (VHF).

«The Baikal Scientific School on Fundamental Physics is a traditional event wh ere I repeatedly present reports. At this event the issues of solar-terrestrial physics were discussed. This information is relevant to Hoang's future thesis work.

We prepared carefully for the conference. I believe that Hoang managed to successfully present the results of scientific research. It is a good opportunity for him to gain experience in public speaking», said Aleksandr Poletaev.

Nguyen Khac Hoang Duong spoke about a method based on an artificial neural network to determine the impact of solar flares on the ionosphere: 

«In my report I presented statistics of the impact of solar flares on the VHF radio signals parameters in the period from 2015 to 2020.

I also developed a program for automation of the search and detection of solar flare effects using linear regression and an artificial neural network. The experts highly appreciated the efficiency of this method which allows to automate the processing of accumulated radio-physical data of lower ionosphere monitoring.

I listened to many reports and I was interested in presentation of Moscow scientists, their research were related to my topic».
