Biography

Mamyrin was born in 1919 in Lipetsk, Russia. Both of his parents were medical doctors and his early aim was to follow in their footsteps. However, shortly after he obtained his M.S. degree in physics from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, World War II cut his studies short. He served in the army throughout the war, finally separating in 1948. He returned to the Polytechnic Institute and obtained his doctoral degree within a year. He was the head and leading research scientist of the laboratory of mass spectrometry at the Loffe Physico-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a full member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
