From donating surplus laboratory equipment to collaborating on research papers, Pitt professors are working with Ukrainian scholars in disciplines ranging from quantum physics to post-war reconstruction. Pitt professors have established and maintained connections with scholars in Ukraine through a variety of programs and research collaborations during the war. “We are always trying to expand and extend the collaborations with Ukraine,” Frolov said. “When we collaborate with the scientists there, they do some calculations for us, and some of the samples we work with come from Ukraine,” Frolov said. “In the Ukrainian program, students learn a whole year of Ukrainian in just six weeks,” Manukyan said.
