On 7th May, the SWEB team organized a practical workshop for RTU master’s students, led by Dr. Boris Polyakov, focusing on kinetic measurements of photochromic WO3 and YHO samples.
The hands-on session introduced students to experimental methods used in the development and characterization of smart window materials. By working directly with advanced photochromic samples, participants gained insight into how fundamental materials research can support future energy-efficient building technologies.
This activity reflects SWEB’s commitment to training a new generation of researchers and strengthening the bridge from science to innovation. Smart window technologies are a promising route toward more sustainable, energy-efficient buildings, and today’s students will play a key role in bringing these solutions closer to society and the market.
