Research Interests

Performance of fabrics with special interests in capability of fabric to provide solar ultraviolet light protection to living things (humans, plants, and animals) and its detrimental effects on human skin such as being a source of allergic contact allergens or being a reservoir for such allergens.  Engaged in developing expertise in the performance of fabrics in agricultural and biosystems engineering applications.
