Claire Poh
Experienced in textile-related research and product development that spans a diverse multi-discipline area of applications ranging from thermal regulation to fabric moisture transport. Developed an extensive knowledge base in polymer and fiber chemistry, fiber formation, yarn & fabric construction, polymer material selection, materials testing & analysis, and dyeing and finishing. As a materials engineer, I strongly feel that the consideration of environmental factors is an integral part of the engineering and developmental process.
