Roger L. Barker is a Professor in the Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science at North Carolina State University and Director of TPACC.\u00a0 He is internationally recognized for his work in the field of thermal protective clothing and comfort and heat stress in clothing systems.\u00a0 Barker has published many technical papers on the subject of the effects of intense heat exposures on fabric materials including exposures to flash fire, molten metal, hot surface contact and radiant energy.\u00a0 He was Chairman of the 1984 ASTM International Symposium on the Performance of Protective Clothing. \u00a0He is an active participant in several committees of the National Fire Protection Association, which are involved in the development of standards for the performance of protective clothing.\u00a0 Barker holds B. S. and M. S. Degrees in physics from the University of Tennessee and a Ph.D., in Textile and Polymer Science from Clemson University. \u00a0He has positions at Cornell and at Clemson Universities. \u00a0His industrial experience includes work as a physicist in spun bonded fabrics research.<\/section>\n
