* Nanofibre production

Knowledge Areas
Dr. Parhizkar has studied the effect of colour on emotions and its application
to the textile industry during her MSc. During her PhD, she worked on the
application of photochromism, i.e. colour-change in response to light, to
textiles using the sol-gel technique to produce garments for such applications
as UV protection. Her postdoctoral work has been focused on nanofibre
production technologies and the surface modification and characterisation of
nanofibres.
