Congratulations to Andrey Ustyuzhanin and Maxim Borisyak on winning the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics as part of the LHCb Collaboration!

We are proud to celebrate this outstanding achievement by two brilliant minds affiliated with Constructor University and Constructor Knowledge Labs.

As part of the LHCb Collaboration, Andrey and Maxim contributed to the detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties confirming the symmetry-breaking mechanism of mass generation, the discovery of new strongly interacting particles, the study of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the exploration of nature at the shortest distances and most extreme conditions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

Andrey Ustyuzhanin is a valued adjunct Professor of Computer Science at Constructor University, while Maxim Borisyak, a Postdoc at CU, represents the next generation of scientific excellence. Their recognition as part of the 2025 Breakthrough Prize Laureates is a moment of pride for our entire academic community.

Please join us in congratulating Andrey and Maxim on this remarkable honor!
