Dr. Alexander Ivlev received his PhD (1968) at Mendeleev Chemical Technology Institute (Russia) for “Thermodynamics of Isotope Exchange of Elements with Middle and Heavy Masses” studies. After receiving PhD he worked in All-Union Oil Research Institute as a senior scientific researcher. Next PhD (1986) he received at Institute of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences for “The Regularities of Carbon Isotope Fractionation in Biological Systems” studies. In 2005 he was awarded by Medal of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences “To Author of Scientific Discovery” for establishing link between carbon isotope distribution in metabolites and temporal organization of metabolic processes. Keeping on his work in Oil Research Institute in 1994 he was invited to lecture in Russian State Agrarian University. In the University he went on studying photosynthesis by means of isotopic technique. Oscillatory character of photosynthesis was his finding. In 1995 he received Professor’s degree. Dr. Alexander Ivlev is an author of 5 scientific monographs and more than 200 publications. His present interests: chemical & biological evolution, interaction of photosynthesis and Earth’s crust processes. One of his recent works “Photosynthesis in Global Cycle of Biosphere Carbon” in monograph “Applied Photosynthesis. New Progress” (2016).
