Associate professor Ali Tehrani, who works at Aalto University's School of Chemical Engineering Bioproducts and Biosystems Department, has an impressive background in textile research already before joining Aalto. And he also enjoys guiding and supporting his students in their research and careers.

Professor Ali Tehrani and his research group focus on something very familiar to us all – textiles.

Olamide working on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly nonwovens from recycled and bio-based man-made cellulosic fibres, utilizing nonwoven technologies such as needle-punching, air-through bonding, and wet-laid processes.

The Mirka Karis factory recently hosted a key meeting for the TexirC project, which is tackling four major challenges in textile recycling: colour stripping, fibre separation, compositional analysis, and the de/repolymerization of synthetic fibres.

Research field is an area of academic research in which the school has agreed to provide doctoral education. The Aalto Doctoral Programme in Chemical Engineering offers doctoral education in 6 research fields. Each doctoral student is appointed a supervising professor who represents the research field approved for the student.
