Mikhail N. Erokhin was born in 1946. He graduated from Moscow Institute of Agricultural Engineers named after V.P. Goryachkin in 1968. Since 1970, he worked at Moscow Institute of Agricultural Engineers named after V.P. Goryachkin (in 1993, the Institute was renamed into Moscow State Agroengineering University named after V.P. Goryachkin) in various positions: from a junior researcher to Vice-Rector. From 1995 till 2011, he acted as Rector of the University; from 2011 till 2014, he functioned as President of the University. After the unification of the three universities, from 2014 till 2017 – he was appointed Advisor to Rector. At present, Mikhail N. Erokhin is Professor of the Department of the Strength of Materials and Machine Parts of Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy.

In 2001, he was elected the Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in 2003 – Full Member of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Since 2014 - Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He defended his PhD thesis in 1972, DSc thesis in 1994, and got an academic title of Professor in 1991.

M.N. Erokhin’s teaching experience is over 40 years. He supervises the scientific school conducting research on increasing the level of reliability for agricultural machinery. He developed a number of processes to increase the wear resistance of friction units, the original working units of agricultural machinery. He has 21 author certificates of inventions and patents. M.N. Erokhin has trained 13 DSc holders and 10 PhD holders, now he is supervising doctoral and post-graduate students. 

He has issued more than 300 publications including 47 study manuals, namely:
