Education/Background:

  • B.S., Functional Material, Donghua University, Shanghai, China, 2011-2015
  • M.S., Textile Engineering, North Carolina State University, NC, U.S., 2014-Present

Introduction:

I’m Xiaoqi Tang, from China. Now I’m working in Dr. King’s research group as a master student in TE program. I received my bachelor’s degree from Donghua University, Shanghai, in 2015. During that time, I was focusing on the friction properties of sutures made of different materials. Last year, I came to U.S. as part of the “3+X” program. Meanwhile, I was studying the degradation of PLA yarns. Now, I’m working on the Muscle Tendon Spacer fabric. I hope my passion in research and textile will take me further in my career.
