Research interests: theory and numerical modeling of geophysical fields in heterogeneous geological environments; interpretation of large volumes of geophysical measurements; geophysical prospecting and exploration methods; marine geoelectrics; borehole geophysics; monitoring of the Earth's upper crust for ecology, engineering geology, and archeology.
Mikhail Ivanovich Epov is a globally recognized expert in the field of geophysics and geophysical exploration methods. His work on the mathematical modeling of electromagnetic fields in laterally inhomogeneous anisotropic media, which incorporates the frequency dispersion of electrophysical parameters, has garnered international acclaim. This significant contribution has resulted in the development of interpretation complexes that are extensively utilized within the industry.
Mikhail I. Epov has authored over 450 scientific publications, which include seven monographs and twelve patents. He serves as the leader of a prominent scientific school, and his contributions are widely recognized and esteemed both in Russia and internationally.
Mikhail Ivanovich Epov held the position of editor-in-chief for two scientific journals, namely Geophysical Technologies and Geology and Mineral Resources of Siberia and as deputy editor-in-chief for Geology and Geophysics.
