Makarikhin graduated from Alexander Pushkin School No. 9 in Perm (Physics and Mathematics School) (1981) and the Faculty of Physics of Perm University (1986).

From 1985 to 1988, he was working as an engineer, from 1988 to 1995, as an assistant of the Department of General Physics of Perm University. From 1986 to 1988, he pursued the Postgraduate studies at the Department of General Physics.

Since 1996, he has been the Head of the Computer Network Informatization Department of the PSU ICC, since 1997, a university professor of Perm University of the Faculty of Physics.

From 1997 to 1999, he was a program coordinator of Open Society Institute (Soros Foundation) in Perm Krai.

From 1998 to 2002, he was the leader of the Educational and Methodological Department of Perm University

Concurrently, from 1999 to 2000, he was working as a leading programmer of the Department of Information and Computing Systems of the ICS PSU, since 2000 — as a senior professor and, from 2000 to 2011, — Associate professor as an Associate Professor of the Department of General Physics. In 2000, he defended his thesis titled "Electroconvective instability of flows of a weakly conducting liquid in a vertical capacitor" and was awarded the rank of Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.

In 2004, Makarikhin was one of the creators of the concept of the University Stabilization Fund, which helped significantly to increase the salaries of academic staff and educational support staff of PSU.

From 2005 to 2006, he was a Deputy Director of the training centre of the Federation of Internet Education of the university and supervised the creation of the technical and information infrastructure of the centre.

Makarikhin was one of the head developers of an application form of Perm University's participation in the national competition among universities for innovative training. Moreover, he was the deputy director of the university directorate for the implementation of the national project of an innovative educational program of Perm State University (PSU). Since 2010 he has been the head of the development program of the National Research University in PSU.

In addition, he holds the positions of a Chairman of the Academic Senate of the PSU, a member of the Academic Council of the Faculty of Physics of PSU, member of the Public Council at the Main Directorate Ministry of Internal Affairs by Perm Krai and a member of the Thesis Counselling of Physical and Mathematical sciences.

Since 2012, he has been a member of the Perm Krai Government Council that chooses scientific projects realizing by international research groups of scientists on the basis of state higher vocational education institutions and (or) scientific organizations of Perm Krai. The Council gives subsidies (grants) to business entities which are registered in Perm Krai, the founders should be higher educational institutions and (or) scientific organizations of Perm Krai.

Furthermore, Makarikhin is the Head of the Organizing Committee of a trans-regional multi-subject academic competition "The Young Talents" which is for schoolchildren.

## Educational and scientific activities

Makarikhin gave lectures, practical classes, laboratory practicals in the course units of the disciplines "Physics" and "General Physics" for students of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Geography, Biology, and Physics. In addition, he holds the basic course "Optics" and special courses "Laser measuring systems in hydrodynamics" and "Microhydrodynamics" for students of the Faculty of Physics at university. He supervised eighteen diploma and graduation qualification theses of students of the Faculty of Physics (specialization "Physical Hydrodynamics").

Makarikhin conducts his scientific research in the field of fluid, gas, and plasma mechanics. The main topics of Makarikhin's research are electro hydrodynamic flows and interphase and capillary phenomena, as well as a research in the field of information technology application in the area of education.

Makarikhin has published over 50 articles in the international, central, and local press, presented reports at All-Russian conferences. He administered four grants. Moreover, he participated in the performance of contractual research works on 15 topics. In 2010, he became a laureate of Perm University for the best work in the field of physical and mathematical sciences.
