Leonid M. Bogomolov
E-mail: l.bogomolov@imgg.ru

Has graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (state University). Has worked in Research stations (branches) of the Joint Institute for High Temperatures RAS in Andijan and Bishkek (Frunze), and since 2004 in the Research Station RAS in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Since 2008 he has worked at IMGG FEB RAS. The science researches are devoted to problems of energy-saturated systems, including their stability and nonlinear dynamics. Such systems include both current-carrying plasma thermonuclear magnetic traps (the subject of Ph.D. thesis, 1984) and loaded geomaterials and rocks massifs in seismogenerating zones. The “Responses of geological medium emission signals to effect of electromagnetic fields and vibrations” thesis for a degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical sciences in the “Geophysics and geophysical methods in exploration activity” field has been defended in 2013.
Author/co-author of more than 150 scientific publications.
By the order of the Federal Agency of Education of Russia from the 7th of December, 2015 was appointed a Head of IMGG FEB RAS by the results of Head’s election by the Institute staff for the period till 7th of December 2020.

Research interests:

mechanical properties and destruction of geomaterials and mountain ranges;

interaction of geological mediums with physical fields, trigger effects in Geophysics;

earthquakes’ mechanisms occurrence and precursors;

seismoacoustics, electroseismic effects.
