On October 10, 2026, students from FCSC and FIT at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv joined a cybersecurity meetup organized by the Ghost of Sheva community, supported by Virtual Routes and Hackathon Expert Group.
The event served as the final gathering for two cohorts of the certificate program "Basics of Cybersecurity for Small Organizations," funded by a Google.org grant. Students attended four lectures by industry experts, solved practical challenges, and joined interactive quizzes.
Notably, the meetup took place in the university shelter during air raid alerts, demonstrating the resilience and determination of our students.
"Such events form a community of future professionals who realize the importance of cybersecurity and their own role in strengthening Ukraine's digital resilience," highlighted co-organizer Taras Panchenko, Head of the Department of Theory and Technology of Programming at FCSC.
On October 2–4, 2026, Corfu (Greece) hosted the 16th IEEE International Conference DESSERT’2026 on dependable systems, cybersecurity, and AI. Our faculty was represented by Prof. Volodymyr Zaslavskyi (HMcCS workshop co-organizer and session chair), Assistant, PhD Yurii Pushkarenko, and PhD student Ihor Volokhovych.
Our team presented research on 3D image processing and apiculture biosecurity during wartime. Notably, the paper by Yurii Pushkarenko and Volodymyr Zaslavskyi titled "Evidence Imbalance Bounds Training-Free Segmentation of 3D Gaussian Splats" was awarded the prestigious Best Paper Award!
Congratulations to our colleagues on this outstanding international recognition!
On October 9, Prof. Nick Cogan (University of Florida, USA) visited our faculty and met with Dean Olena Kashpur and FCSC colleagues to discuss scientific cooperation.
As part of this collaboration, we invite students, PhD researchers, and faculty to an open online lecture by Prof. Nick Cogan: "Bridging Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Data to Optimize Cancer Therapy".
Overview:
Effective cancer treatment increasingly relies on combining experimental data with mathematical modeling. The lecture will explore how mathematical models help optimize therapy strategies for aggressive cancers (such as TNBC), understand tumor microenvironment changes, and harness immune activity.
