Research outputs across the practice.
Six research projects spanning healthcare-associated infections, COVID-era supply chains, e-textile prototypes for medical applications, material compatibility testing, and sustainable-material exploration.
The Master's thesis subject. Multi-phase laboratory evaluation of silver-based antimicrobial textiles as infection-control tools in hospital settings, with five grant applications, industry partnerships, and a continuing legacy in training programs for the Antimicrobial Textile Testing methodology.
Cross-functional analysis of medical-device supply-chain vulnerabilities during the pandemic, leading a team of five graduate engineers. Published in the Journal of Textile and Apparel, Technology and Management, twelve citations to date. Presented at Poole College of Management and the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) Expo.
Working prototype: a data-acquisition system of physiological parameters in the diabetic foot, with temperature and accelerometer sensors embedded in a shoe sole and Bluetooth telemetry to a laptop in real time. Published in Cuaderno 174, Universidad de Palermo, 2022.
A reusable knitted diaper using auxetic technology to improve fit and comfort. Completed working prototype produced on Shima Seiki WholeGarment machinery.
Co-authored peer-reviewed paper on the compatibility and efficacy of vaporised hydrogen peroxide technology for the decontamination of reusable personal protective equipment. Published in Cogent Engineering, Taylor & Francis, 2022.
Material exploration in upcycling: designed and manufactured a sustainable fur coat from old fur garments and tailoring fabrics, applying sustainability principles to a material category typically associated with waste. Trained through three intensive programs at the Argentine Federation of Commercialization and Industrialization of Fauna. Coat exhibited at the 77th Argentinian Fashion and Leather Manufacturing Exposition, March 2016.
Selected papers from across twenty-plus published works. The featured set covers peer-reviewed research on antimicrobial textiles, medical device material compatibility, supply-chain analysis, and emerging materials.
