Short biography:
Marie-Ange BUENO is a textile engineer since 1991. She received her PhD in Engineering Sciences in 1995 from the University of Haute Alsace, in Mulhouse. She became assistant professor in 1997 and she is Full Professor since 2005 at the University of Haute Alsace and more particularly at the school of engineering, Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs Sud Alsace (ex-ENSITM), and the Laboratory of Textile Physics and Mechanics. She teaches to students in both the Textile & Fibres and Mechanics diplomas. She was the head of the mechanical department of ENSISA and from 2015 to 2023 she was the head of the Laboratory of Textile Physics and Mechanics. She created with Prof. René Rossi from Empa, the French-Swiss Textile Research Group in 2017. She co-created and she is the deputy manager of a French research group dedicated to tactile (GDR CNRS TACT) since 2018. Her two research and teaching fields are knitting and tribology of fibrous materials from the fibre to the fabric. Since her doctoral thesis, she is particularly interested to textile-skin friction.

Short biography:
Born 1943 in Czechia. Graduated on University of Liberec – Ing. 1967, CSc. 1976, DrSc. 1991, assoc. prof. 1990, professor 1993. His professional carrier started in the research and development section of textile technologies in State Textile Research Institute (1967-1990). He solved different problems of spinning of yarn and applying them to the development of modified types of woven and knitted fabrics. He was co-operated also on the field of non-woven structures.
In May 1990 he started academic carrier on the Textile Faculty (then VŠST, now the Tech-nical University of Liberec – TUL) as professor, head of Department of spinning, later De-partment of textile structures, and vice – dean of faculty for science and development. Four years he was also the member of Academy Council of Czech academy of Science.
As the professor of textile structures he created two new subjects oriented to the mathemati-cal theory of textile fiber structures (fiber layers, yarns, woven and knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics). They are teaching on TUL as well as on Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) till now. For presentation of his concept to IITD students, prof. Neckář was 16 years invited to Delhi as the “honorary professor”.
Beside lot of journals articles Prof. Neckář published 3 original monographs. The first was “Yarn, building, structure, properties” (1990, in Czech). Others two monographs - “Theory of Structure and Mechanics of Fibrous Assemblies” (2012), and “Theory of Structure and Me-chanics of Yarns” (2018) – he published together with his earlier PhD student D. Das.
 | prof. Dr. Ing. Math. Yordan Kostadinov KYOSEV |
| Institution: Chair of Development and Assembly of Textile Products, ITM, TU Dresden, Germany | |
| Research Interest: TBody Scanning, clothing development, material parameters of textile structures, geometrical and mechanical modeling of knitted and braided structures; application of FEM for the modelling of fiber and yarn based structures; braiding machines and technology; fuzzy logic. | |
| Keynote Lecture: Multiscale modelling of sewing seams and the interaction between the textile fabrics and sewing threads. |
Short biography:
His early carrier started in Sofia, Bulgaria at the Department of Textiles, where he was 1997 to 1999 as PhD student and external assistant processor and 1999-2003 as assistant professor for design of textile and sewing machines. 2003-2005 he acted as the Head Assistant Professor with the main teaching topics: knitting technology, design of textile and sewing machines, numerical methods in the Faculty of Applied Mathematics, technical mechanics (statistics, kinetics, dynamics, strength of materials) in the German Faculty for Engineering Education. After one year (2005-2006) at ITA- RWTH Aachen with Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, he was appointed in 2006 as Professor at Hochschule Niederrhein-University of Applied Sciences, Mönchengladbach, Germany. In terms of teaching he was focused on: Textile Materials, Textile Technology – especially narrow woven and braided fabrics, Textile testing and quality management, Finite element modelling for textiles, Numerical simulation. In 2011 he founded the company TexMind UG, within which frame he provide industrial CAD software solutions for braiding, warp and weft knitting. In August 2019 he was appointed as professor and head of the Chair of development and assembly of textile products, ITM, TU Dresden. Germany. His team perform research in the area of 3D and 4D body scanning, functional clothing development and simulation, additive manufacturing, sewing and welding machines, automation and robotisation in the apparel production. Prof. Kyosev is editor-in-chief of Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics (IF2.9); founder and co-editor in chief of the diamond open access journal “Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products” www.cdatp.org. He is author of the books “Braiding technology for textiles”, “Warp knitting Fabrics construction”, “Topology based modelling of textile fabrics and their assemblies”, many book chapters and co-author of more over fifty papers in peer review journals and many conference works.
