Research Interest
Textiles: Chinese textiles including Dragon robes and Shiang-Yun-Sa; Hawaiian bark cloth: Kapa; and organic cotton. I examine both new fabrics and historic textiles with modern instruments (i.e., air permeability tester, digital high power microscope and SEM) to explore fiber count, fiber structure, weave pattern, air permeability, dyestuff, and surface and wear characteristics.
