I'm an e-textile researcher, focused on full-garment modeling and extended reality. My dissertation title is "Digital Strategies for e-Textile Design and Manufacturing", and I expect to graduate in Spring, 2023.

​

My research projects and collaborations include:

• Exploring the impact of knit fabric type on the electromechanical performance of e-textile interconnects (more)

• Development of a virtual reality platform for communicating textile tangibility (more)

• Evaluating different full-garment modeling systems (e.g., CLO, Browzwear, Optitex) for their ability to accurately model e-textiles

• Mechanical modeling of a knit fabric strain sensor

• Simulations of material handling for textile automation

• Instructional design and media development for a new e-textile design course (TE 518 – Design Analysis of Smart Textile Products) 

• Past: Electromechanical resistance model for a conductive, strain sensing yarn

• Past: Hydroentanglement method development for wetlaid nonwoven wipes
