Co-Investigator on the LEBIOTEX project (Laser enhanced bio-technology for textile design; three dimensional, colour and surface patterning), which ran from 2012-2015, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and was undertaken between Loughborough University and De Montfort University in the UK. The project was interdisciplinary, working between textile design, chemistry and engineering towards the development of more sustainable textile design approaches. It was underpinned by collaboration with industry partners who included Speedo International and Camira Fabrics. The project included two PhD supervisions – Laura Morgan and Chetna Prajapati.
