Bakhytnur Works at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, PhD, Acting Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanics
In 2013, Bakhytnur completed a Kazakh-French double degree program at KazNU and the University of Lorraine. After her master's degree, she worked as a junior research fellow at Nazarbayev University.
«My research focuses on studying the adsorption process. I am involved in quantitative modeling of carbon dioxide adsorption on compacted activated carbon. The adsorption process is used in various fields, including medicine, clean gas production, water filtration, energy, and cooling systems that operate without electricity. I am exploring the application of this process in cooling systems,» explains the researcher. Upon arriving in Japan, Bakhytnur has already written a small article based on her modeling results. She is currently writing a textbook and gathering materials for a new article. “The main task of any researcher is to find something unusual, to see difficulties and contradictions where others find things clear and simple,», says the researcher.

«The main task of any researcher is to find something unusual, to see difficulties and contradictions where others find things clear and simple,» says the researcher.
She adds that the key parameters in studying the adsorption process are functions of time and space, which she is mathematically describing.
«What does this give us? Modeling experiments is cheaper than conducting them and also allows us to predict material characteristics without having to test them practically,» Bakhytnur explains.
She is also deepening her knowledge in numerical modeling and analysis, which will be useful in other areas of mechanics.
«Currently, software packages and online calculators are widely used in solving mechanical problems. However, fundamental knowledge seems to be undervalued and disappearing. As a result, we rely on foreign software. I believe we should be able to do the same things ourselves,» adds the researcher.
During her internship, Bakhytnur engaged in tasks she previously had no time for. She notes that she has started learning again.
«After my doctoral studies, this program was very convenient for me. Another advantage is the grant funding, which provides a scholarship to only one person. This increases responsibility», explains the scholar.
Upon returning to Kazakhstan, Bakhytnur plans to improve the quality of teaching at the university and provide students and master's students with research projects in the application of the adsorption process in cooling systems. She also plans to integrate these studies into the educational process.
«I notice that many students have knowledge but are reluctant to publish their work and struggle to convey their thoughts. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a culture of article publication among students. The ability to write high-quality scientific papers is an important skill. It is also crucial to be familiar with the LaTeX macro package used in scientific publications», — concludes the professor.
