Research activities

In 1997, at the Department of Biomedical Electronic Devices and Systems Professor V.V. Semenets created a research group on the development of biomedical equipment and multifunctional microprocessor systems and founded a scientific school of microprocessor medical systems, which today, as a member of the professor O.G. Avrunin, assistant professors T.V. Nosova, L.O. Averyanova, T.V. Zhemchuzhkina, senior teacher O.I. Sklyar develops multifunctional microprocessor systems in medicine. Under the supervision of V.V. Semenets has 3 doctoral theses (A.M. Sinotin, I.V. Prasol, O.G. Avrunin), 8 Ph.D theses.

In 2004-2005 under his leadership a set of multifunctional laboratory stands was created, which includes microcontrollers, signal processors, programmable integrated circuits, on the basis of which various autonomous control systems are developed. The complex is used not only in NURE, but also in many universities in Ukraine.

In 2007-2012 under the guidance of V.V. Semenets a hardware-software complex of high-precision neurosurgical interventions and functional diagnostics of external respiration was created. The complex is used in the neurosurgical and otorhinolaryngology departments of the Kharkiv Regional Clinical Hospital.

In 2010-2012 for the first time in Ukraine under the leadership of V.V. Semenets developed and created a unique installation for remote conducting of laboratory works on technical disciplines. Used today in the process of distance learning.

Scientific supervisor of special educational and rehabilitation department for students with special educational needs.

Member of editorial board in “Ukrainian Metrological Journal”,“Bionics of intelligence”, “Clinical Informatics and Telemedicine”, “Innovative Technologies and Scientific Solutions for Industries”.
