Dr. Rangam Rajkhowa received his bachelor's degree in Textile Technology from Anna University, India; a master's degree in Fibre Science and Technology from Indian Institute of Technology, India and a PhD in Engineering from Deakin University. Australia. He leads the silk and natural fibre particle stream of research at the Institute for Frontier Materials. His research interests are silk based biomaterials, value addition and new applications from natural fibres and fibre wastes, sustainable fibre and textile processing, and circular economy. He set up the fibre powder research facility at Deakin University and his group investigate sustainable production and advanced applications of particles from silk and other natural fibres. The group works on fundamental understanding of fibre and particle structures and properties but also has strong focus on interdisciplinary research applications using fibres.
