Research Interests:
|
Dr. Rust's research interests include the broad area of short staple yarn manufacturing. Past successful research projects have dealt with: process controls in drawframe autolevelling, novel sensing and control in carding, HVI cotton fiber property measurement and significance, roller-drafting and autoleveling at carding (includes 4 patents with Dr. T. Clapp), moisture control in staple spinning, ginning technology development, and novel fiber instrumentation.
His current and projected future projects will be related t further development of roller-drafting and autoleveling technology at carding, continued carding development in control and improved sliver quality, development of novel ginning technology, further development of novel fiber instrumentation for measuring several important cotton fiber properties, and in-plant cleaning and moisture control.

Biography:
|
Dr. Rust was born in an upstate New York dairy farming family. He is married (8/12/99) to Dr. Jane Griffiths of Cardiff, Wales, UK. Jane currently serves North Carolina State University as a counselor at the Counseling Center.
Dr. Rust graduated from Clemson University with a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering ('82) and an MS degree in Fiber Science ('85). His Ph.D. research was in yarn formation mechanisms. Specifically, his dissertation focused on the design, fabrication, implementation and evaluation of a novel open-end yarn forming system based on the DREF principle. Over the past 8 years, Dr. Rust has maintained close ties with industry and worked to develop relationships between NCSU and industry through his multi-disciplinary team-based summer internships. He has worked with three companies, 5 different divisions, in directing process improvement projects at company locations. He has directed the work of more than 100 undergraduate and graduate students on these projects.
Currently, Dr. Rust is serving as the Textile Engineering Program Director, teaching undergraduate and graduate Textile Engineering courses, continuing his summer team projects, and maintaining a research program in the areas of fiber measurement and yarn formation and characterization.
