The memory of Viacheslav Lavrynenko, who studied, taught, researched and invented at Kyiv Polytechnic for 60 years, was immortalized on the facade of the 12th building of the FEL.
The scientist developed a unique piezoelectric motor for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy with high efficiency. Today, his invention is used in astronomy, space exploration, robotics, and even installed in DSLR lenses.
This innovative development quickly spread beyond the borders of our country: piezoelectric motors are used in Japan, China, and the United States.
