Dissertation topics are mainly related to objects, systems, and facilities in the field of thermal power plants (TPPs) and nuclear power plants (NPPs), and in most cases, they are dictated by practical needs. Thus, PhD students at the Department of Thermal and Nuclear Engineering develop problems necessary for production, which are well received when implemented in industry. Reviews of the scientific and practical contribution of the dissertations have been received not only from our institutes and industrial enterprises but also from leading scientific organizations and firms abroad.

The developed dissertation topics cover various research aspects of TPPs and NPPs, such as:
"Mathematical modeling of emergency processes in modern NPPs with VVER reactors";
"Reliability modeling of TPPs";
"Modeling and analysis of internal flooding in NPPs with VVER reactors";
"Model studies of furnace processes in energy steam generators";
"Assessment of the possibilities for applying cogeneration installations in the building stock";
"Optimal operating mode of heating systems";
• "Study of the operation of sulfur removal installations for boilers burning lignite coal";

These topics correspond to the current trends in the development of systems and facilities in CHP and NPP.
