Visualizations of Fiber Processes

Visit META Webite: META

The Multifunctional Metamaterials (META) lab explores the combination and interactions of nanophotonics, plasmonics, electronics, thermodynamics and mechanics, and applies these concepts into textiles and other materials. The main focus in the production of these fabrics is energy transfer, in particular engineering the fibers to behave and respond to heat and light.

I am working with Dr. Svetlana Boriskina and PHD student and researcher Ikra Iftekhar, creating visual representations of how textiles are made, demonstrating both the process and the woven patterns in a detailed manner. These representations are made through 3D rendering using applications like blender, and digital sketches using Adobe Illustrator. The purpose of these renders and drawings is to help the understanding of the design and creation of the textile making process more clear and understandable for other students, learning about the process.
