      Hi,

      Well coatings are used on many products to extend their life and protect from corrosion. For example car parts, turbines in aircraft engines, on power generation equipment. Hopefully in the future we will have developed a coating to stop erosion on wind turbine blades helping the world become more sustainable.

      I try to improve lots of products, by either making it lighter so that it takes less energy to move it from one place to the other, or by making its manuacturing process less expensive and less polluting.

      The thing I love about textiles is that they are everywhere!!!
      Understanding how to make / improve and add benefits to textiles has an impact on every part of our lives, and I don’t see that changing any time too soon!
