Introduction
In my doctoral research, I explore the synergy of textile design and microbiology to create living textiles emitting scents. My work operates in the realm of "Textile Thinking," a unique approach that considers both the physical aspects of textiles and the intangible world of smells around them. I'm passionate about bringing different disciplines together to innovate and shape a future where textiles play a vital role in our sensory interactions.

Bio-Futures for Transplanetary Habitats (BFfTH) is a Special Interest Group within the Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment that aims to explore and enable interdisciplinary research on transplanetary habitats and habitats within extreme environments through an emphasis on the biosocial and biotechnological relations. BFfTH organized the...
This research paper presents a study on the development of living textile-bacterial hybrids, focusing on
the scent produced by Streptomyces violaceruber, a bacterial species, throughout its growth phase. The
objective of this study was to observe scent profiles of S. violaceruber on two different fibres, cotton,
and linen, and analyse the potential...
BioMateriOME evolved from a prototyping process which was informed from discussions between a team of designers, architects and microbiologists, when considering constructing with biomaterials or human cohabitation with novel living materials in the built environment.
The prototype has two elements (i) BioMateriOME-Public (BMP), an interactive pu...
How can biotechnologies and biomaterials shape and sustain habitats in extreme and space environments? Biotechnologies and biomaterials have been considered essential to the design of habitats in extreme environments such as outer space. Recent advancements in biotechnological research present novel ways in which materials, artefacts and architectu...

In a world still reeling from a global viral pandemic, what do we really know about the microbes that share our indoor spaces and proliferate on household surfaces? We aim to shed light on the invisible microbial world inhabiting common indoor surface materials (e.g., wood, glass, plastic), as well as innovative construction materials; including bi...
The interest in mycelium, the root network of fungus, as a biomaterial for architecture is expanding as international research groups demonstrate the strength and durability of mycelium composites as a replacement for traditional building materials [1][2] [3][4]. The transition to biocomposite systems in architecture offers an opportunity to fundam...
