The Herman and Myrtle Goldstein Graduate Student Paper Competition highlights emerging researchers and the innovative work shaping the future of the textile industry. This year’s finalists represent talented graduate students who will present their original research to a panel of industry experts, demonstrating not only the strength of their work, but their ability to communicate its relevance and potential impact. The competition provides these students with an opportunity to share their ideas with the broader textile community while gaining valuable exposure and professional experience.
