I have considerable experience studying the resistive heating properties of conductive fabrics for applications such as heated car seats. I applied techniques such as FTIR, Elemental Analysis, and thermal analysis to reverse engineer the composition of commercially available fabrics, and I used techniques such as SEM and mechanical analysis to observe the effect of the addition of conductive material to the fabric. Additionally, I have experience in the synthesis and characterization of polyurethanes and polyureas for dielectric materials. I also developed an electrochromic (color-changing) stretchable fabric device.

I studied the temperature dependence of the elasticity of main chain liquid crystalline elastomers. These materials displayed fully elastic behavior above a clearing transition temperature, but had anelastic behavior below this temperature.
