After obtaining a Bachelor of Engineering in a 5 year program offering a mixture of engineering and chemistry courses in 1989, Prof. Shamey worked in textile mills (dyeing and finishing industry) for three years in various capacities from process engineer to section manager. Prof. Shamey continued his Master of Science degree in Dyeing and Finishing (with Distinction) jointly at the \u201cColour Chemistry Department\u201d and \u201cSchool of Textile Industries\u201d of Leeds University in 1993 working on a colour science project under the direction of Dr. James. H. Nobbs. He continued to work with Dr. Nobbs for four years during his PhD program between 1993 and 1997. His work was focused on modelling and real time control of dye concentration in the package dyeing process. After completing his PhD he worked as a post doctoral research associate at the Colour Chemistry Department of Leeds University on an industrial project sponsored by Unilever between 1997 and 1998. Prof. Shamey then joined Heriot-Watt University in Scotland in 1998, as Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Dyeing, Printing and Finishing. He received a special commendation for the university’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2002. In 2003, Prof. Shamey joined the TECS Dept. at NCSU. He served as Program Director for the undergraduate Polymer and Color Chemistry (PCC) and the graduate Textile Chemistry (TC) programs from 2009 till 2018.<\/section>\n
