Thesis

Carbon/Phenolic Nanocomposites for Ablative Applications

Dmitri Kabakov was a graduate research assistant at Texas State University. He grew up in Russia, but moved to Israel in young age.

There he graduated from high school with honors and served in the army. He has been an athlete for 19 years and holds the Israeli national record in heptathlon. His research interests include nanomodified composite materials, nano-safety, and manufacturing. He was an active member of SME and SAMPE participating in light-bridge building competitions and being finalist of international research symposium.
