SCIENTIFICALLY EXPERIMENTAL CENTER

Scientifically experimental center consists of several laboratories that allow conducting research starting from the new technological material processing methods and to the physical and technological indicators testing. In our center MD's, aspirants and doctoral students conduct laboratory classes, seminars, offers services to different companies and other educational institutions, all under supervision of experienced staff members.

Scientific directors: PhD, professor Kaplun Vitaliy Grigorovich,
PhD, professor Kostogriz Sergiy Grigorovich,
C.T.S. associate professor Shalapko Yuri Ivanovich.
