She has a doctoral degree in the field of Textile Engineering & Sciences obtained from the Philadelphia University. Over the last decade, she has been studying material characterization using non-contact ultrasound techniques, and was developing textile-based interfaces for human electrophysiology signals applied for wearable systems. Additionally, she has been investigating neurophysiological signal properties associated with tactile perception of flexible materials, made of various textures and low-stress material properties. She is an active member of several professional organizations including the Fiber Society and IEEE.
