About the Conference

About

On 15 May 2026, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of Kaunas University of Technology, together with the student association “FUMSA”, is organising the scientific student conference “Mathematics and Natural Sciences: Theory and Application”.

Bachelor, Master and PhD students from Lithuanian and foreign universities are invited to discuss scientific and practical issues, present their ongoing or completed research projects and present the results of their work.

The aim of the conference is to encourage students’ scientific activities, critical thinking, research skills, data collection, analysis and presentation skills, as well as to gain new ideas, communicate, collaborate and discuss topics relevant to young people.

The event is free of charge and open to all active students interested in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other sciences.

The conference “Mathematics and Natural Sciences: Theory and Application” was first organised in 1996. The initiator of the conference, Professor A. Aksomaitis, organised it together with the students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at KTU. The conference, which has now become a tradition, is actively supported by Kaunas University of Technology, the Lithuanian Mathematical Society and the student organisation “FUMSA” of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Plenary speakers

Prof. Dr. Audrius Kabašinskas: “The ECMI Network and the Career Development Opportunities It Provides”

Professor at the Department of Mathematical Modelling, member of the Council and the Educational Committee of the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI), member of the EURO Working Group on Commodities and Financial Modelling, and head of the Audit Committee of the Lithuanian Operational Research Society, with 24 years of scientific and teaching experience working with students in Kaunas and Vilnius.

Audrius Kabašinskas obtained his PhD in Informatics in 2008 from the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics (currently the Institute of Data Science and Digital Technologies at Vilnius University).

His research interests include applied mathematics in finance, decision-making, operations research, artificial intelligence, financial risk assessment, fraud and anomaly detection in large datasets, stochastic optimization, pension system modelling, stress testing, and cryptocurrency market analysis.

Over nearly 20 years of research activity, he has participated in and led numerous international and national projects (H2020, COST, MSCA, ESFA, LMT). He is a co-author of 40 scientific articles and conference publications, and his work has been cited more than 300 times.

Prof. dr. Giedrius Laukaitis: “Prospects for Green Ammonia and Hydrogen in Sustainable Energy Development”

Prof. dr. Giedrius Laukaitis is the Vice Dean for Research at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and a professor in the Department of Physics at Kaunas University of Technology. He also leads the research group “Formation, Research, and Application of Multifunctional Thin Structures and Nanocomposites” and has over 25 years of experience in the field of research and studies on the physics and technology of functional thin films and nanostructures, with a primary focus on hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen fuel cell components, electrocatalysis, thin-film deposition technologies, and the analysis of surfaces, microstructures, and thin-film structures.

Recently, he has been leading research projects investigating catalytic processes in solid oxide fuel cells, the use of iron oxide coatings as electrocatalysts in water splitting and oxygen evolution reactions, as well as the formation and investigation of proton-conducting structures.
