Following its Fall 2007 Annual Meeting and Technical Conference, the Fiber Society has announced the recipients of its Founder's Award and its Graduate Student Paper Competition. The conference took place October 9–11 at the University of California, Davis.
Founder's Award Recipient:
Dr. Tushar Ghosh, Professor of Textile Technology in the College of Textiles at North Carolina State University, received the Fiber Society's Founder's Award in the name of Frederick T. Pierce. The Founder's Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the science and technology of fibrous materials by a professionally active scientist, regardless of age. Each award is presented in honor of a founding member or honorary member of the Fiber Society.
Dr. Ghosh received a B.S. degree in Textile Technology from Calcutta University in 1975. After a year working in the textile industry, he entered the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi, earning his M.S. degree in Textile Engineering in 1978.
He spent 3 years working as a scientist at the Jute Technological Research Laboratory before going to North Carolina State University, where he earned a master's degree in Textiles Materials and Management in 1984, followed by his doctorate in Fiber and Polymer Science in 1987. Dr. Ghosh was appointed to the faculty at NC State's College of Textiles in 1987, where he attained full professorship in 1999.
Dr. Ghosh teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of weaving technology, technical textiles, and methods of performance evaluation. Additionally, he mentors graduate student researchers in his particular areas of interest, working specifically on such problems as numerical analysis methods; structure-property relationships of fabrics; three-dimensional shaped/molded garments with effective barrier characteristics for low-cost combat uniforms; development of fabric-based electrical circuits; and, electroactive polymers and their textiles applications.
