Senior Lecturer of the Department of Chemical Physics and Materials Science, PhD Auyelkhankyzy Moldir became the winner of the "Bolashak" international scholarship and is currently undergoing a scientific internship at The Pennsylvania State University

Since August 21, 2026, PhD Moldir Auelkhankyzy has been undertaking a research internship at The Pennsylvania State University (USA). As part of the internship, the Department plans to engage three to four or more international experts in the field of “8D07113 - Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies in Chemistry,” which corresponds to the academic and research profile of the Department of Chemical Physics and Materials Science. The involvement of international experts will contribute to expanding international professional cooperation, establishing new academic and research contacts, and developing promising areas of international collaboration within the Department.

In addition, PhD Moldir Auelkhankyzy has secured grant funding under project AP32318491, entitled “Development of Hierarchically Porous Activated Carbon from Biowaste Integrated with Dual Transition Metal-Based MXenes for High-Performance Supercapacitor Electrodes” (KMU). As part of the implementation of the grant project, a number of planned research activities will be carried out in the United States, utilizing the scientific infrastructure, resources, and opportunities available through the project.

The international experience gained during the internship, the professional contacts established, the international experts engaged, as well as the opportunities provided through the grant project will be utilized by the Department of Chemical Physics and Materials Science to strengthen international research cooperation, implement joint research projects, enhance the international visibility of the Department and the University, and contribute to improving the University’s position in international rankings, including the QS World University Rankings
