A graduate of Baku Engineering University (BEU) in Physics, a doctoral student at the University of Warsaw Ulkar Jabbarli conducts cutting-edge research on the application of artificial intelligence in materials science.

She is currently working as a researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Warsaw in one of the most prestigious and high-budget scientific grant competitions “OPUS 27” funded by the National Science Center of Poland. The project is dedicated to designing the electronic properties of new two-dimensional layered crystals through alloy engineering. Ulkar Jabbarli works on the design of new generation materials using density functional theory, artificial intelligence algorithms, and machine learning models.

She completed her master's degree at the University of Warsaw with high results in the specialty “Computer Modeling of Physical Phenomena” and became the first female and international student to achieve this result in the field of Physical Sciences at the University of Warsaw, ranking in the top 5 in the doctoral entrance exams. For this achievement, she was selected as a candidate for the prestigious “Rector’s Scholarship”.

As part of her doctoral research, Ulkar Jabbarli also collaborates with Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and University College London in the UK, investigating the electronic properties of two-dimensional alloys with artificial intelligence-based models in the computational laboratories of these universities.

A graduate of BEU was also the first Azerbaijani student to undergo an internship at the NOMATEN Institute of the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Poland. Here, she studied the behavior of materials at the atomic level using multidimensional modeling and DFT approaches, and published two articles on energy production from hydrogen. Her scientific works have been published in prestigious journals such as “Catalysis Today”, “Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion”, “Applied Surface Science” and “International Journal of Hydrogen Energy”.

Moreover, Ulkar Jabbarli is active in supporting women’s initiatives in the STEM field. She is the winner of the “Women in STEM” grant and the “Hokuma Aliyeva Scholarship” established by the Polish-Azerbaijani Council and the “Student Ladies Union”.

Ulkar Jabbarli is a member of the Coordination Council of Azerbaijanis of Poland and successfully represented our country at the OSCE Warsaw Human Dimension Conference in 2025. 

We congratulate the BEU graduate on her achievements and wish success in her future scientific activities.
