Dr Marzieh Parhizkar - Research Fellow
Dr Marzieh Parhizkar
Dr. Marzieh Parhizkar is a research fellow at Deakin University’s Institute for Frontier Materials.
After completing her PhD thesis titled “Photochromic fabrics with improved optical performance” at IFM in 2012, she joined Dr. Alessandra Sutti’s group and focused on developing recipes for short polymer fibre (SPF) production from various polymers, including natural (e.g. chitosan, silk), synthetic (e.g. polyethylene co-acrylic acid) and inorganic (e.g. silica).
She has also worked on various applications of these fibres, including filtration, biomedical and textile applications. She is currently involved in an industry-funded project which focuses on textiles applications of SPFs, such as imparting durable water repellency properties to fabrics.
