HSE MIEM, an institution with 58 years of history, prepares specialists for high-tech industries. The MIEM teaching staff includes one RAS academician, four RAS corresponding members, and 34 winners of the State Prize of the Russian Federation. It also has developed close ties with leading industry institutions, including RAS institutes, global companies such as National Instruments, InfoWatch, Zyxel, QNAP and Altium Limited, as well as laboratories equipped with the latest technologies, e.g., 3D visualization, laser technologies, telecommunications, cybersecurity systems, etc., allowing MIEM to train world class experts and specialists.
Researchers from HSE MIEM and Skoltech have developed a new approach to decoding codes used for data transmission. Their hybrid method significantly reduces computational costs and can be implemented using electronic components. The paper has been published in IEEE Transactions on Communications.
Sixth-generation (6G) communication will require new devices and technologies, and a development team at HSE University is working on solutions in microelectronics and photonics as part of the university's Strategic Technological Project 'Trusted 6G Communication Systems Technology Suite.' In 2026, the researchers developed models and prototypes of devices, experimentally tested their characteristics, and agreed with industrial partners on formats for collaboration. The HSE News Service spoke with project coordinator Alexander Shurakov, Associate Professor at the School of Electronic Engineering of HSE MIEM, about how these developments can move beyond the laboratory.
Researchers at HSE MIEM have analysed semi-fragile digital watermarking schemes for images published over the past ten years. Such watermarks survive benign processing, such as compression or brightness adjustment, while breaking under malicious modifications, such as unauthorised insertions or face-swapping, and revealing the forgery. The authors propose a classification of these schemes and identify key challenges that remain unresolved. The results have been published in Computer Science Review.
