Research Areas

  • Technical Textiles and Textile Structures
  • Systems and Quality
  • Supply Chain
Dr. Suh's research interests are quite diverse reflecting his academic background and work experience in the textile industry and in academia.  Two broad areas of his current research are:  quantitative methods in textile manufacturing and management, and statistical/probabilistic modeling of textile materials, processes and products.
More specifically, his current and past work includes: 
  • Development of Statistical Quality/Process Control Methodologies for Textile Operations
  • Total Quality Management
  • Textile R&D Management
  • Optimal Design/Evaluation of Textile Products
  • Forecasting of Textile Business Cycles
  • Estimation of Consumer Demands for Apparel Products
  • Study on Profitability of Textile Firms
  • General Theories on Bundle Strength and Statistical Size Effects
  • Strength and Uniformity of Spun Yarns
  • On-Line Process Control in Spinning
  • Optimal Fiber Selection/Blending via HVI-based cotton fiber measurements
  • Study on Novel Grafting Systems for Short Staple Spinning
  • Calibration Strategies in Textile Testing
  • Geometry of Knitted and Nonwoven Structures
