His father was a professor of physical chemistry at Gorky State University and Mikhail developed an interest in sciences at an early age.

In 1986, he co-authored chapters on the evolution of turbulence in the seminal textbook Course of Theoretical Physics (Fluid Mechanics Volume) of Lifshitz and Landau.

In 1992, Mikhail accepted a faculty position at the Institute for Nonlinear Science at UCSD in La Jolla, CA.

In 1999, Mikhail was invited to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in Vatican to give a lecture on global and complex processes in physics.

In 2012, Rabinovich published his first book on neuroscience Principles of Brain Dynamics: Global State Interactions.
