Expert Witness Background
As a highly qualified textile engineer who erected and commissioned a full-fledged textile manufacturing plant, I am very knowledgeable in production planning, product design and development, product evaluation, performance optimization and cost reduction. After teaching and conducting research in the field for 35 years at a prestigious globally-ranked university, I have an excellent understanding of both conventional and modern manufacturing technologies used for the production of fibers, yarns, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, finished apparel, carpets, various types of nonwoven structures, industrial fabrics, and other highly engineered performance products used in life saving applications. After running a state-of-the-art textile testing laboratory and serving as a paid advisor to AATCC for 23 years, I am familiar with most global test-methods and also government regulations related to product safety. Serving as a field expert in more than 50 litigations that revolved around in-put materials, product design, manufacturing technologies, product performance, etc., I gained recognition in the legal community as one of the leading experts in the textile field. Out of the 50 litigations, eight focused on patent related issues and seven focused on flammability related issues. The remaining litigations focused on fiber evidence, product evaluation and appraisal, nonwovens, advanced materials, materials science, carpets and floor coverings, laundry industry, dry cleaning, air quality, dyeing and chemical finishing, surface coatings, product defects, etc. My MS degree in ‘Applied Statistics and Decision Sciences’ added credibility when it came to submitting reports with statistically valid interpretations. I have participated in multiple depositions and court-room testimonies in litigations that originated in federal, state and local courts across seven different states.
