Dr. Arjunsing Girase
Bio
Arjunsing Girase started at Wilson College of Textiles in the Fall of 2016. After completing his M.S. in Textile Engineering, Arjun joined TPACC for Ph.D. in Fiber and Polymer Science in the Fall of 2018. For his doctoral dissertation, Arjun worked on assessing and improving the cleaning practices in the firefighting community using analytical chemistry and statistics. Currently, Arjun is working as a post-doctoral researcher at TPACC on the assessment of the fluorinated and non-fluorinated finishes applied to the structural turnout suits, exposure assessment from EV fires.
