Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, State University of New York, 1985
M.S. & B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Ecole Nationale d`Ingénieurs de Tunis; Tunisia, 1981

Research Interests

Research interests are in the areas of thermal and fluid sciences applications to textiles, specifically infra-red and radio frequency heat treatments, thermal evaluation and testing of fire protective fabrics, textile pollution prevention, textile waste elimination/reduction, effects of textile products on indoor air quality, numerical simulation and modeling, finite differences resolution techniques, finite element analysis, fluidized beds and stability analysis of convective flow. Other areas include mechanics and formation of fibrous structures, principles of polymer engineering, instrumentation and control systems, monitoring and control of knitting equipment, and Textile applications in biomedical engineering.
