Biography
Imran Islam’s expertise includes sustainability, textile waste management, textile fibers and yarns, knit development and analysis, textile testing and analysis, and application of textile technology to design.
Appointed by Mayor Eric Adams, Dr. Islam served on the New York City Task Force on Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Use and Disposal of Textiles (Local Law 112). He is a recipient of the State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and an active member of the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC).
Dr. Islam strongly believes that academia must strive to expand diversity with inclusive excellence across disciplines in which every student has the opportunity to excel. He believes a harmonious co-existence with a sense of inclusion in a society is the key to thriving.
Research Interests
sustainability; textile waste management; knit design, development and analysis
