Kunaev Award laureates

The award has been presented as part of the Contest of the Committee of Science of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and is held annually to encourage young scientists, who have made a significant contribution to the development of science and technology. 

The award winners included following post-doctorates: S.A. Orazbayev, E.A. Ussenov, PhD D.G. Batryshev, head of Laboratory of Engineering E. Erlanuly, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Plasma physics, nanotechnology and computer physics PhD A.U. Utegenov. 

The award was given for the work titled “Development of scientific foundations for obtaining nanostructured materials based on modern plasma technologies for practical applications”. 

The work aims to develop a scientific framework for the synthesis of nanostructured materials based on modern plasma technologies, to study the properties of plasma, to analyze morphological and structural characteristics manufactured nanomaterials and prospects for their application. 

Practical significance of the work is that the results of nanostructured materials synthesized within the plasma environment will provide the scientific basis for new effective methods and technologies for industrial applications. 

More than 200 scientific articles have been published as a result of the work, of which more than 40 articles were in high impact journals, confirming the relevance of the studies carried out at the international level, 4 patents of the Republic of Kazakhstan were received. 

Recognition of scientific achievements of Al-Farabi KazNU young scientists, as well as them getting a Kunaev award represent a reaffirmation of the university’s leadership in both Kazakhstan's research activities and training of prominent young scholars.
