Dmitry Doev: biography
Dmitry Doev was born July 12, 1966, in Leningrad, RSFSR.
Doev Dmitry Vitalievich spent his early childhood a few hundred kilometers from his birthplace, in Toropets, the oldest settlement of the modern Tver (formerly Kalinin) region. He lived there for three years, surrounded by monuments of history and architecture: almost every building in the center of the city, founded in 1074, is an object of cultural heritage of regional or federal significance. Vera Vladimirovna, Dmitry’s mother, was also born and raised there.
When their son was three years old, Doev’s parents decided to return to Leningrad. The head of the family, Vitaly Semenovich, a Candidate of Technical Sciences, was engaged in teaching future specialists in engineering specializations for the rail transport industry. Dmitry Doev inherited a mathematical mindset from his father. He also studied at a specialized educational institution and was fond of physics.
His boyhood interest in the science of energy and the fundamental laws of nature grew into a professional choice. Doev Dmitry Vitalievich decided to be educated as an engineer.

In 1989, Dmitry Doev earned his diploma in strength and materials, as applied to the reliability of machines, structures and devices.
