Dr. KA-PO MAGGIE TANG received a bachelor’s degree in fashion and textiles (fashion technology) from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) in Hong Kong in 2009 and a Ph.D. degree from the same university in 2015. Her Ph.D. thesis was titled “Measurement and Improvement of water transport properties of apparel fabrics.” After graduation, she continued her work as a postdoctoral fellow and focused on commercialising the instrument that she developed and improving the functionality of fabrics. In 2016, she worked as a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University in N.Y., United States. Her work focused on investigating the thermal properties (by material testing) and warm discomfort (by subjective assessment) of computer material, where she was a Postdoctoral Associate. In 2017, she moved back to Hong Kong and continued her work at PolyU. Her current research interests include examining the pressure comfort, stickiness, water absorption, and drying properties of textiles. Her work ranges from machinery development to development of the subjective assessment method, which is fundamental to various applications, including clothing, medical textiles and hygiene products.
