‘This Format Turned Each Presentation Into a Collaborative Effort to Assess the Robustness of the Study

On October 16, 2026, HSE ICEF hosted the Eighth International Conference on Applied Economics. Held fully on-site, the conference brought researchers from HSE University, the New Economic School, Wuhan University, and Shandong University together in Moscow. The programme was organised around three overarching themes— ‘Environment, Resources and Policy,’ ‘Migration, Labour, and Communication,’ and ‘Consumption, Behaviour, and Climate—offering an opportunity to see how similar economic mechanisms operate in China, Pakistan, the United States, and Russia.

‘I Always Conduct Research on Topics That Genuinely Matter to Me

Anastasiia Deeva studies the socio-economic consequences of excess weight in Russia. In an interview for the Young Scientists of HSE University project, she spoke about why beauty cannot be measured, her desire to write a novel, ‘Dostoevskian’ burnout, and working at the hotel where The Shining was filmed.

'Cultural Studies Seeks to Understand What Lies Beneath the Surface of Everyday Things'

Maxim Zhiganov has been exploring different aspects of sound for many years—first in relation to his native Perm and then on a broader, global scale. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about sound maps, the special issue of the journal Logos, and why it is important to make the familiar less clear and obvious.

Computational Design of Some TTF-Substituted Acene-Based Dyes for Solar Cell Application Using Hollow ZnO Quantum Dot as Acceptor

Computational and Theoretical Chemistry. 2018. Vol. 1136. P. 10–17.

Habib M., Saha S., Sarkar R., Pramanik A., Sarkar P., Pal S.

Using first principle methodologies we present here the judicious design of TTF-substituted acene based dyes for solar cell application while hollow ZnO quantum dots could be used as electron sink materials. By calculating the frontier energy level alignment, charge density distribution and optical absorption properties, we way out a route by which the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives of different acene molecules could be better utilized for solar energy harvesting process. The major advantage of the present strategy is to use nontoxic ZnO an alternatives of TiO2 electron acceptor.

Controlling the Charge Transfer and Recombination Dynamics in Hollow ZnO QD Based Dye Sensitized Solar Cell: An Insight from Ab Initio Simulation

Habib M., Ghosh N. N., Sarkar R. et al., Chemical Physics Letters 2018 Vol. 709 P. 21–25

First principle calculations are performed to study the charge transfer and recombination dynamics at the interface of dye-(ZnO)n hollow quantum dot (QD). It has been revealed that the extent of dye-ZnO interaction depends on the size of the QD which severely affects the driving force for charge transfer and recombination. The deep level conduction band of a particular ...
