Research<\/h3>\n

The business of fashion worldwide\u00a0employs an estimated 18 million people engaged in the production, design, and development of fashion. Currently, in the USA, over one million people are employed in the retailing of fashion and about 200,000 employed in fashion apparel production across the USA.\u00a0Research for the\u00a0fashion industry covers many different disciplines in both the technologies and management of manufacturing. An important aspect of fashion is how to design a continuous stream of new products is the least possible time so that the consumer has an increasing selection of product. Technology plays a crucial role to assist the designer in 2D, 3D, correct fit, pleasing drape, physiological and psychological comfort, functionally tailored performance and aesthetics. The ability to prepare prototypes and samples rapidly often provide a competitive advantage. Sourcing and logistics further enhance a firms ability to attract repeat business. My research interests include\u00a0manufacturing and management,\u00a0new product development,\u00a0design for manufacturability,\u00a0mass-customization, simulation,\u00a0 technology development, and\u00a0economic competitiveness.<\/p>\n
