An interdisciplinary research group advancing protective textiles, intelligent materials, and sustainable systems through science, engineering, and data-driven decision-making.
From ballistic armour to circular supply chains — the questions we ask all trace back to how fibres, structures, and decisions interact.
Lightweight soft armour systems built from high-performance fibres, ceramics, and smart fluids.
02 — 3D CompositesStructure–property relations, nano-structured coatings, and CNT-reinforced composite architectures.
03 — Sustainability & LCALife-cycle assessment, multi-echelon supply chains, and carbon-tax-aware circular textile systems.
04 — Textile Recycling & CircularityPost-consumer PET bottles engineered into antibacterial, moisture-managing polyester fibre.
05 — Operations & Supply ChainAHP, TOPSIS, and Industry 4.0 adoption frameworks for textile manufacturing and logistics.
06 — AI-ML Based ModellingNeural networks, fuzzy logic, and random forests used to predict material behaviour and guide decisions.
A look at how our group takes a high-performance fabric — through structural design, shear-thickening-fluid treatment, and ballistic trials — into a working soft armour panel. Click the photo to watch the project video.
