On April 14, 2026, the Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of the NAS of Ukraine was visited by a representative delegation of the NAS of Ukraine, consisting of the President of the NAS of Ukraine, academician Anatoliy Zahorodniy, the first vice-president of the NAS of Ukraine, head of the Section of Physical-Technical and Mathematical Sciences of the NAS of Ukraine, academician Vyacheslav Bohdanov, academic secretary of the Department of Informatics of the NAS of Ukraine, academician Oleksandr Khimich, scientific secretary of the Section of Physical-Technical and Mathematical Sciences of the NAS of Ukraine, Doctor of Technical Sciences Serhiy Bespalov, and scientific secretary of the Department of Informatics of the NAS of Ukraine, Candidate of Historical Sciences Olha Horokhovatska.
The Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of the NAS of Ukraine is one of the leading institutions in the fields of mathematical modeling and information technologies and their application to solving problems of the national economy, security and defense, environmental safety, and rational nature management.
In an overview report, the director of the Institute, Corresponding Member of the NAS of Ukraine Oleksandr Trofymchuk, provided general information about research directions, structure, personnel potential, and international activities. The retrospective presented the most significant results obtained by scientists from the departments of physical and mathematical modeling, applied informatics, information security, information and communication technologies, environmental research, and natural resources.
Special attention was given to results aimed at strengthening national security and defense and post-war recovery.
Doctor of Technical Sciences Dmytro Cherniy presented the results of the Department of Physical and Mathematical Modeling, headed by academician Stanislav Dovhy. The department has many years of experience in creating analytical and numerical methods for solving a wide range of problems in aerohydrodynamics, applying the theory of singular and hypersingular integral equations, and computational technologies for computer modeling of complex systems. The developed scientific tools have made it possible to obtain a number of practically important results for urban planning needs, monitoring of water areas, and the development of new models of dual-use aviation and marine equipment.
Professor Vasyl Ustymenko spoke about the main results of the Department of Information Security in the field of post-quantum cryptography, aimed at protecting information from attacks by adversaries possessing quantum computers and using artificial intelligence methods. Since 2021, the department's researchers have closely collaborated with the Center of Excellence in Post-Quantum Cryptography, a subdivision of Royal Holloway of London, carrying out an international project involving researchers from England, Scotland, Poland, and Ukraine. The department brings its theoretical developments to implementation at the level of demo models, which are introduced into practice by well-known programming teams.
Professor Yuriy Kalyukh reported on the application of Construction 4.0 and Digital Twins technologies for monitoring multi-story buildings damaged by missile attacks. Such monitoring allows providing recommendations for stabilizing destructive processes, restoration, and further commissioning of the building. Issues of seismic reconnaissance as an early warning system for border communities were separately considered. The results have been implemented in defense forces units and border communities in the Chernihiv region.
Candidate of Technical Sciences Vladyslav Vasylenko presented the results of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies regarding research and development in modern wireless data transmission systems using interference-resistant codes and neural networks. They find applications in the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), monitoring the technical condition of objects, robotics, autonomous transport, telemedicine, and more.
Doctor of Technical Sciences Tetyana Prosyankina-Zharova informed about the results of the Department of Applied Informatics concerning research and development of information technologies supporting decision-making in managing the development of socio-economic systems under uncertainty and risk. The developed analytical and predictive tools, based on new mathematical models, data mining tools, and artificial intelligence, have found application in several government bodies and local self-government authorities.
The delegation also toured the Institute's laboratories. Doctor of Technical Sciences Dmytro Cherniy demonstrated the operation of an experimental stand for physical modeling of layered flows. The modeling results have been repeatedly used to demonstrate and provide expert assessments of environmental damage caused by the Russian Federation due to technogenic impact in the Kerch Strait water area.
Doctor of Technical Sciences Oleksiy Lebid demonstrated the operation of a full-scale model of a Darrieus-type wind turbine with controllable blades. Blade control enables increased efficiency of the wind turbine and expands the range of applications under different wind speeds. The development and production of such installations are of particular interest for forming a distributed electricity generation system under wartime conditions.
Professor Vasyl Trysnyuk presented the results of the Department of Environmental Research over recent years, focusing on expeditionary monitoring work. Special emphasis was placed on the activities of the recently established Laboratory of Special Equipment and Artificial Intelligence, as well as developments in unmanned aerial vehicles and the use of mobile robotic complexes. These technologies are widely used in environmental monitoring, search and rescue operations, emergency response, and mapping.
Doctor of Technical Sciences Yevheniy Yakovlev paid special attention to issues of uncontrolled flooding of mines by groundwater and other environmental problems of Donbas. The audience's attention was focused on the danger of drying adjacent underground water intakes and filtration compression of liquefiable soils under the foundations of the Zaporizhzhia NPP reactors due to the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP. The significant environmental impact of massive artillery shelling (2022-2025, up to 50 million large-caliber shells with the introduction into soils of up to 1.9 million tons of heavy and toxic metals and 350 thousand tons of nitrate compounds) on the geochemical contamination of agricultural landscapes, surface, and groundwater was noted.
Summing up the visit, the President of the NAS of Ukraine, academician Anatoliy Zahorodniy, noted the high scientific level of the Institute's research, thanked the scientists for their fruitful work in this difficult time, especially emphasizing significant results in the field of state security and defense. The head of the Academy wished the institution's team that every scientific result of the Institute would find its customer for implementation.
