Profile Summary

Are you looking for a textile material and engineering expert? Having an experience of more than 18 years in the textile (industry, academy and research) : innovation management, smart textile, circular economy, best practices, textile industry consultant, comfort, 3D weaving, ERP and textile process automation… I am a Scientific Expert in the European Research Program (Horizon Europe): Project Reviewer and Evaluator for Small and Medium Enterprises (2017 till now), Horizon 2020 : Project monitor (2017 till now) and aContact Point European Research Program (Horizon Europe) in the National Engineering School (2018 till now). My research interests lie in the broad areas of Smart Materials, Waste Materials Reuse, Sustainable materials, medical textile, Surface activation, Heat Mass and Transfer (Diffusion simulation, Capillary, Wicking, Wetting, Permeability, Porosity, Flammability), Comfort measurement setup and machines (Design, manufacturing and programming of capillary, permeability, electrical resistivity and capacitive moisture management setup). As an active scientific researcher, I published two books, and more than 20 papers in scientific journals such as Carbohydrate Polymers, Journal of Building Engineering, Cellulose, Autex Research Journal, Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics (JEFF), Journal of Textile Institute, Cellulose, Journal of Fashion Technology & Textile Engineering. He also reviewed many manuscripts for more than 40 journals such as Applied Physics Letters (AIP Publishing LLC), Materials Letters (Elsevier), Industrial Textile, The Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics (JEFF). I am a self-directed and motivated professional. I can help in experimental design and managing projects aimed at engineering, material development, characterization, and product manufacturing... I would be glad to assist with research-related projects in Textile materials, preparation of technical documents, editing, journal selection, and more. I am also representing a group of scientists (all PhD) collaborating in interdisciplinary fields such as Materials science & engineering, environmental, Physics, polymer materials, smart textile and functional textile, etc. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to the prospect of working for you. Kind regards,
