He has also been an Instructor at both Alexandria University and Mansoura University, Egypt, and a Research Engineer for Burlington Industries, North Carolina, and a Project Manager for Valdese Textiles in Valdese, North Carolina.Dr. Seyam teaches fabric formation and structures at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He teaches short courses and workshops in advanced woven fabric design, nonwovens and new developments in weaving and weaving preparation technologies.Dr. Seyam has mentored 111 Master and Doctoral students (90 Chair\/Co-Chair and 21 member), and 25 international visitors (Post Doc, Visiting Scholars, and Trainees). Dr. Seyam\u2019s effective mentorship and advising has guided his students to reach their full potential and contribute intellectually to their research. He prepares students to be leaders in their fields. His former students, trainees, and visiting scholars are holding high positions in academic institutions, government agencies, and industry in North America, Asia, Europe, Middle East, and South America. Their accomplishments (publications, presentations, patents, product development, etc.) are impressive.Dr. Seyam has published as co-author with his students and national\/international collaborators and as sole author (238 papers: 97 refereed journals, 25 scholarly, 109 conference, 3 books and 4 book chapters) and presented (157 conference and in-plant presentations plus 71 poster presentations) extensively. He authored two user-friendly computer software packages with extensive codes for manufacturing and engineering woven structures for two of his former employers. He is co-inventor of 4 patents in cold weather systems and electrotextiles and filed 12 invention disclosures.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"research_summary\">\n<h3 class=\"person-section-heading\">Research<\/h3>\n<p>Nanosciences, Surface Modification, Fibers and Polymers, Technical Textiles and Textile Structures, Health and Safety, Educational Innovation<\/p>\n<p>Established Research Areas: Mechanics of Woven Fabrics, Carding Dynamics, Needlepunching Process and Products, Direct Garment Manufacturing using Meltblowing and Robotic Technologies, Smart Electrotextiles, Computer Simulation and Formation of Nonwovens using Electrostatic Field, Applications of MEMS in Textiles, Static Generation\/Dissipation on Polymeric and Textiles\u2019 Surfaces, Modeling of the Hydroentanglement Process, Fiber Reinforced Composites from High Performance Fibers and Sustainable Biodegradable Natural Fibers and Resins, Smart Textile Structures Containing Optical Sensors for Automotive and Composite Applications, Protection of High Performance Fibers from UV, Jacquard Fabrics on Demand, Seamless Shaped Garments and Medical Textiles, Design and Performance of Inflatable Laminated Structures for Airships, Development of Non-stop Tying-in Process.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":18641,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"source":"","ncst_custom_author":"","ncst_show_custom_author":false,"ncst_dynamicHeaderBlockName":"","ncst_dynamicHeaderData":"","ncst_content_audit_freq":"","ncst_content_audit_date":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"group":[391,410,395,432,443,401],"person_tag":[],"class_list":["post-18295","person","type-person","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","group-faculty","group-fashion-and-textile-design","group-fashion-and-textile-management-fdpm","group-fiber-science","group-polymer-science","group-textile-and-apparel-technology-and-management"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<title>Abdel-Fattah Seyam - Wilson College of Textiles<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/textiles.ncsu.edu\/people\/aseyam\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Abdel-Fattah Seyam - Wilson College of Textiles\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dr. Seyam has been in the faculty of the Department of Textile and Apparel, Technology and Management at NC&#160;State Wilson College of Textiles since 1991.
