Autorenporträt

Nimesh Kankariya serves as Director for Textiles and Materials Research Limited, New Zealand (TexMat Research). Much of his recent research focuses on smart textiles, including compression textiles and emerging technologies. He has been involved in several industrial-based research projects. Nimesh's doctoral thesis "Textiles and Compression of the Lower Limb" is on the Sciences Divisional list of Exceptional Doctoral Theses, University of Otago, New Zealand. René M. Rossi has worked at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, for more than 25 years in the field of the interactions between materials and the human skin. He studied physics and obtained his PhD at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Since 2003, Prof. Rossi has been leading the Laboratory for Biomimetic Membranes and Textiles at Empa, a group of around 40 researchers developing novel smart fibers, textiles, and membranes for body monitoring, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications. He is Adjunct Professor at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich and Invited Professor at the University of Haute-Alsace in Mulhouse, France.
