Developing advanced chemical technologies and techniques to manipulate properties of biological products, including new catalytic methods for transformation of organic compounds, target drug delivery and selective drug release systems, smart implants with predictable surface properties, materials of organic electronics, hybrid biomaterials, and sophisticated sensor systems for bioengineering.

Training researchers and exploring general patterns of the nature organization, functioning and development. Expanding the understanding of space and time, matter and energy in all forms. Interdisciplinary, fundamental and exploratory studies in the following areas: physics of extreme matter states, high-energy physics, physics of charged particle beams, radiation effects, condensed matter, fundamental interaction. The university is engaged in major Russian and international mega-science collaborations.

Developing multidisciplinary technologies and training highly qualified engineers in such areas as advanced composite materials and coatings, additive technologies with continuous reinforcement, and dynamic modeling of materials and constructions. The unique application of university production technology is space exploration, including training competent engineers for the State Space Corporation Roscosmos and conducting a set of experiments on the International Space Station as a mega-science installation on the design of a 3D printer, protection of solar cells from cosmic dust, dynamic modeling of loads on the ISS lock chamber, and others.

Training personnel and designing new information technologies as well as software and hardware for development of the digital economy in collaboration with leading IT and robotics companies. TPU specializes in the application of cross-cutting digital technologies in such areas as methods and algorithms for processing big data, multi-level wide-area information telecommunication systems, intelligent navigation systems of robotic group control for exploration of the World Ocean resources, protection of the aquatic environment, and examination of the state of underwater objects and engineering structures.

Training of practice-oriented highly qualified engineers for the oil and gas industry, geology and environment. The development of technologies for the efficient geological engineering: prospecting and exploration, resource-efficient mining, transportation and processing of raw materials including cost-feasible extraction of reserves, collaboratively with national and international leading oil and gas companies. Within the National strategy of Arctic development, the university provides studies of the underwater permafrost degradation and the emission of methane in Eastern Arctic. The university is also involved in developing the engineering solutions for the exploration and management of new reserves.

Training highly qualified engineers and developing solutions ensuring efficient and reliable work of electrical power systems, open and adaptable to new energy producers and consumers. The priority is ecoenergy, i.e. new clean energy carriers, improved efficiency of the traditional fuels with lowered industrial emissions.

The university implements both a separate learning path to train technology entrepreneurs and an entrepreneurship training program for future engineers and researchers. TPU is committed to developing skills in technological and socially-focused engineering entrepreneurship by creating the entrepreneurial ecosystem inside and around the university and involving students, faculty and others in the active creative process of innovation creation.
