Dmitri Tsentalovich is the CEO and CTO of DexMat. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering from Rice University, where he worked in the group of Matteo Pasquali. His research in the Pasquali group was focused on studying the fluid properties of CNT solutions in chlorosulfonic acid to improve the strength and conductivity of acid-spun CNT fibers. Dr. Tsentalovich has authored more than 30 publications in the field of nanotechnology that have been cited over 2900 times. He was also recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of the top “30 Under 30” in the Manufacturing/Industry category in 2016 and he has since led DexMat to scale production of CNT fibers from single filament fibers to km long wires sold worldwide to Tier 1 companies
