ATLANTA – Graduate students from leading textile universities around the world will participate in Techtextil North America’s second annual Graduate Student Research Poster Program.

 

The goal of this program is to provide a forum in which students can present and discuss their work during its early stages, meet some of their peers who have related interests and introduce themselves to more senior members of the field.

 

Eleven graduate students will showcase the latest research on advanced technologies in textiles, nonwovens and materials during Techtextil North America 2015, set for June 2-4 in Houston. 

 

Five of those 11 students were chosen by industry experts to present their research during the World-Class Symposium on Thursday, June 4 from 1 p.m.-2:30 pm.
