What Computer-Aided Department of NTUU "KPI" does

The Computer-Aided Department of NTUU 'KPI' (Кафедра Системного Проєктування) is an academic department within the Educational-Scientific Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IASA/ІПСА) at the National Technical University of Ukraine 'Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.' Founded in 1972 as the first department in Ukraine to train specialists in computer-aided design systems, it now offers bachelor's, master's, and PhD programs across two specialties: F3 Computer Sciences and F4 System Analysis and Data Science. Educational specializations include 'Systems and Methods of Artificial Intelligence' and 'Intelligent Service-Oriented Distributed Computing.' The department operates multiple AI/ML research groups, including the Scientific School of Modern Methods of Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Data Analysis (Prof. Yurii Zaychenko), the Decision Support Systems group (Prof. Petro Bidiuk), the DataLab student circle (Georgiy Kantsedal), and a school of Computer Service-Oriented Design in Distributed Information Environments (Prof. Anatoliy Petrenko).

The department's AI/ML capabilities span deep neural networks for medical diagnostics (94% accuracy on lung cancer CT scans, deployed at Tartu Clinic and in clinical trials with Better Medicine), 4th-generation self-organizing deep learning networks for financial forecasting, evolutionary neural network compression methods (deployed at a Kyiv telecom operator), and decision support systems combining Bayesian analysis, fuzzy set theory, and evolutionary computation for macroeconomics and finance. The department maintains active research cooperation with the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and international academic partners (Michigan State University, Midwestern University, Tartu Clinic). Industry partners include SKELAR, Genesis, It-Jim, Better Medicine, and the mono marketplace. Faculty members Roman Kyslyi and Igor Pysmennyi were appointed in May 2026 to the WINWIN AI Center of Excellence at the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation. The department was recognized in the Forbes Ukraine '50 faculties worth studying at' (2026) ranking.

The department's revenue is structurally bifurcated: state budget funding from the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science (education, salaries, infrastructure) plus fee-based preparatory courses for prospective students (e.g., EVI preparation at ~3,159 UAH/month for 2-month courses). It recruits prospective students through hybrid-format Open Days held multiple times per year, the KPI-wide КПІАбітурієнтFest online event, Telegram chat channels, YouTube video content, and Google Forms registration. Programs are delivered via on-campus instruction in Kyiv and distance/online learning. Distribution is domestic (Ukraine), though R&D outputs have been deployed internationally (Estonia, and academic collaborations in the USA and China). The department recorded no venture funding, no acquisitions, and operates as a structural unit of NTUU 'KPI', a public state university.
