On March 28, our faculty hosted an Open House, giving prospective students a firsthand look at our academic curriculum and the tangible results of our students' research.

The cornerstone of the event was a live showcase of real-world student projects. The Applied Mathematics Department was exceptionally represented by:
• Ph.D. students Dmytro Koltsov and Kostiantyn Kulyk: "Corotational Beam Spline Method for Constructing Twice-Differentiable Curves from Inexact Discrete Data."
• Master's student Maksym Sokolnytskyi: "Mathematical Modeling in the Optimization of the Technical Production Process for Pleurotus Mushrooms."

• Senior Andrii Bilych: A chemoinformatics project titled "Freedom Space 5.0: An Ultra-Large, Synthetically Accessible Chemical Space."

• Junior Mykola Bovan: An interactive presentation titled "How AI Learns from Data: From Real-World Scenarios to Predictions," which broke down:
  * How qualitative information is structurally encoded into numerical data;
  * How this data is mapped into points on a coordinate graph;
  * How a model progressively "learns" to identify underlying mathematical patterns;
  * How these pipelines are ultimately used to generate predictive forecasts.

Many other students from our department took an active role in organizing the event, as our Open Houses consistently champion a "current students for future students" peer-to-peer approach.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our student presenters for showcasing their engineering solutions, as well as to the members of the FSSAM Student Council for their flawless organization of the event.

Thank you to all the prospective students and parents for visiting us and asking such insightful questions. Our next meetup is scheduled for June 6 at the F1 Open Expo Day!
