Biography
Having studied mechanical engineering and economics at the RWTH Aachen University, I started to focus on textiles and textile engineering at an early stage in my studies. I sup-ported research in the field of photovoltaic active, nanomodified and optical fibers at the Institut für Textiltechnik der RWTH Aachen University. During my PhD I started research-ing on shaped fibers – meaning fibers with a noncircular cross section. Due to my personal interest in smart textiles and fashion, I want to introduce the possibilities of creating new types of textiles when utilizing shaped fibers.
