Maxim V. Klimenko received the M.S. degree in physics and the Ph.D. degree from Kaliningrad State University, Kaliningrad, Russia, in 2004 and 2008, respectively. He is currently a Senior Researcher with the West Department of Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation, Russian Academy of Sciences (WD IZMIRAN), Kaliningrad. He has over ten years of experience in the development, modification, and application of numerical models of ionosphere and radio wave propagation. His current research interests include ionospheric electrodynamics and upper atmospheric dynamics, and the global ionospheric structure, including its dynamics and ionospheric effects of magnetospheric substorms, storms, solar eclipses, solar flares, and sudden stratospheric warming at different latitudes. Dr. Klimenko is an Associate Editor of Advances in Space Research.
