Zhubanov university scientists receive grant funding for research projects
Researchers from Zhubanov University have been awarded grants in the competition held by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan for grant funding of scientific and technical projects for young scientists for 2025–2027.
Specifically:
PhD Asel Utegenova, senior lecturer of the Department of English and German Languages, received a grant for her project AP27510383 – “The Impact of the Linguistic Landscape in Kazakhstani Schools on the Formation of National Consciousness among Students.”
PhD Yerbol Kuatbay, senior researcher, was awarded for his project AP27511881 – “Research and Development of an Innovative Technology for Producing High-Quality Titanium-Containing Slag from Domestic Ilmenite Raw Materials.”
PhD Murat Makhambetov, associate professor of the Department of Ecology, received a grant for the project AP27511521 – “Geoecological Assessment of Green Spaces and Soil Quality in the Urban Centers of Aktau and Atyrau Using GIS Technologies.”
Asel Utegenova’s project focuses on a comprehensive study of the linguistic landscape of schools in five regions of Kazakhstan, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Based on the results, a digital gamified platform will be developed to boost motivation for learning the Kazakh language and to foster national consciousness and identity.
Yerbol Kuatbay’s research aims to develop a technology for melting titanium-rich slag from low-grade local raw materials in an electric arc furnace, simulating industrial conditions. The project will lead to the creation of an efficient carbothermic smelting process for producing titanium-rich slag from domestic ores.
Murat Makhambetov’s study involves assessing the current geoecological condition of green spaces and soil quality in Aktau and Atyrau using GIS technologies. The research will result in the creation of an Atlas of the current geoecological condition of green areas and soils in these cities. A key part of the study includes data from remote sensing technologies.
Congratulations to our researchers!
