Design of Clothing Manufacturing Processes

Dr. Sc. Jelka Geršak is Professor of Clothing Science and Head of Research and Innovation Centre for Design and Clothing Science at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor, Slovenia. She has extensive experience in clothing science related to the design of clothing manufacturing processes, the mechanics of textile structures and their behaviour, objective evaluation of clothing appearance, physiology of clothing and wearing comfort. Her research focuses on clothing science and human thermal physiology, based on the study of complex aspects of clothing system, textile structures and their performance, comfort in the actual environment, and more recently smart clothing. She is internationally renowned for her wide-ranging research in textile materials, clothing science and comfort.
