Nikolay Dmitrievich Rogalev graduated from the heat and power engineering faculty of MPEI in 1985. In 1986, he became a member of the MPEI volunteer student team "Dosimetrist-86", which worked to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. In 1988 he defended his candidate dissertation, and in 1999 his doctoral dissertation (subject: "Environmental technologies in thermal power engineering"). He completed an internship (lead researcher) at the Institute of Innovation, Creativity and Capital of the University of Texas (USA, 1994), and was a visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, USA (1994, 1997). N.D. Rogalev's research interests include scientific, technological, and economic problems of the fuel and energy complex, including renewable energy sources, digitalization of energy and hydrogen energy; transfer and commercialization of technologies, development of innovations, and problems of engineering education. From 1991–2007, he created and headed the MPEI Technopark. In 2001, he headed the Department of Economics, Industry, and Enterprise Organization at the National Research University "MPEI" (now the Department of Economics in Power Engineering and Industry, EEI). From 2003–2007, he worked as MPEI's Vice-Rector for Innovation Activities. At various times, he has served on the boards of directors of leading energy and power engineering companies. Since 2013, N.D. Rogalev has headed the National Research University "MPEI".
