Education

• Graduated from Orel State Unversity in 2004
• MD in soil science (2006, Puschino State Unversity)
• PhD in biology (2010, Moscow State University
  
• Senior Researcher in Soil Cryology Lab of the Institute of Physico-Chemical and Biological Problems in Soil Science (IPCBPSS RAS). Research experience since 2004.

Main research interests

are in studying of genesis and ecological functions of permafrost–affected soils in high latitudes and also at high altitudes, their structure and genesis, soil-permafrost interaction, cryoconservation of biota, nutrients and contaminants.

Regular fieldtrip regions

are Kola Peninsula, Bolshezemelskaya Tundra, Polar Urals, North Jakutia, Baikal region, Kamchatka Peninsula, Antarctica and some others.

Professional activities

Alexey Lupachev is Permafrost Young Researchers Network National Representative for Russia since 2007;

He was member of the Organizing Committee of the First PYRN-Russia Workshop “PYRN in Russia: From Frozen to Thawed State” (Puschino, 2009) and the International Conferences on Earth Cryology in Pushchino (2015, 2015 and 2017).

He is one of organizers of International Russian-Japanese conference of young polar scientists «Prospects of joint investigations in polar regions of the planet» in Moscow in the October, 2016 (http://russianpolar.ru/japan/) which gathered about 50 young scientists from both sides and was supported by Japan Consortium for Arctic Environmental Research (JCAR), Arctic Research Center (Hokkaido University), Japan Arctic Research Network Center (J-ARC NET), Association of Polar Early Career Scientists JAPAN, Permafrost Young Researchers Network RUSSIA, Japan-Russia Youth Exchange Center and different organizations and funds in Russian Federation.

In 2012 Alexey won the "Young Scientists of IPCBPSS RAS research contest". During 2011-2016 period I carried out 7 grants as leader and 11 as co-executor. He was supported with the travel grants from local organization committees and other funds to participate with oral and poster presentations in NICOP (Fairbanks, 2008), ASSW (Bergen, 2009), SCAR (Edinburgh, 2011), CFG8 (Obergurgl, 2012), TICOP (Salekhard, 2012), World Snow Forum (Novosibirsk, 2013), ICOP (Potsdam, 2016).
