Mikhail Yu. Tretyakov was born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, in 1958. Graduated from Gorky State University in 1980. The master degree thesis "Analysis of Subdoppler Microwave Spectrometer Based on Coherent Spontaneous Radiation of Molecules" was rewarded as The Best Students Scientific Work in USSR in 1980. From 1980 till present time with Institute of Applied Physics. Current position - Head of the Laboratory of Microwave Spectroscopy. Scientific supervisor of undergraduate and Ph.D. students. Since 2006 member of Scientific committee of Symposium on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy (HighRus). The Ph.D. degree in Physics and Mathematics was received in 1995. The theme of Ph.D. thesis is "Development of methods of microwave spectroscopy in Terahertz frequency range". Major interests - high resolution molecular spectra experimental studies in millimeter and submillimeter wave range; development of new microwave technique and methods.

Highlights of research include: the first frequency multiplication of BWO radiation up to 1.5 THz; the development of Terahertz video-spectrometer based on phase-locked BWO and liquid He cooled bolometer (jointly with University of Cologne and later with University of Lille); the development of MM/SubMM-wave sweeper and gas analyzer (Principal Investigator of the Russian team in joint project with Argonne National Laboratory USA in the frame of US Industrial Coalition Trust-I and Trust-II Projects); the first frequency stabilization of FIR laser against harmonic of millimeter-wave synthesizer (jointly with University of Lille); development of CO₂-laser + MW side-band spectrometer with a slit nozzle (jointly with University of New Brunswick, Saint John); the first frequency stabilization of primary radiation source of subterahertz range by femtosecond laser induced comb; development of MM/SubMM-wave resonator spectrometer for atmospheric absorption investigations; the first microwave observation of negative molecular ions (jointly with Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, Prague and University of Lille); studies of spectra of H₂0, H₂Se, SO₂, CF₃H, CH₃CHO, O₂, OCS molecules and H₂O-HF, (CH₃OH)2, CH₃OH-CO molecular complexes.

Invited lectures at: The 15th International Conference on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy, Prague 1998; 3rd International Symposium on Physics and Engineering of MM and SubMM Waves, Ukraine, 1998; The 25-th International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves, September 12-15 2000, Beijing, China; NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Spectroscopy from space", Oct. 31-Nov.4, 2000, Bratislava, Slovakia; XIV Symposium on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy (HighRus-2003), July 6-11 2003, Krasnoyarsk, Russia; Hua Dong Institute of E.M.I. Qingdao, China, March 2006.
