Dr Abu Sadat Muhammad Sayem
Project Lead, UKRI AHRC Digital Fashion Network
I am a research academic with focus on digital fashion innovation, smart textiles and material sustainability. I am implementing the AHRC Project “Digital Fashion Network” as the Project Lead. I am a member of the UKRI Peer Review College and the Assessment Panel for the UKRI (AHRC, Innovate UK and NERC) Circular Fashion and Textile NetworkPlus programme.
Academic and professional qualifications
I am a fellow of the Textile institute, the Royal Socitey of Arts and the Higher Education Academy, UK. I am an alumnus of Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, UK and Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdiens (DAAD), Germany.
I obtained my PhD in Fashion Technology from the University of Manchester in 2012. I gained my MSc. in Textile and Clothing Engineering (2004) from the Dresden University of Technology in Germany. My first degree, gained in 1999, was in Textiles from the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh.
My present role at the Manchester Fashion Institute (MFI) includes teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate courses, supervising and mark UG and PG research projects including PhD projects, reviewing Research Ethics Applications, providing research ethics training to staff and students, and contributing towards the activities of the Faculty Research Ethics & Governance Committee. I conduct independent and joint research works and contribute to the RKE (research and knowledge exchange) projects with industry partners.
Previous Employment
Before joining MMU, I worked as an Associate Professor in the textile department and as the Head of the Centre of Scientific Research and Innovation (CSRI) of the Southeast University Bangladesh. I led the textile department of the World University of Bangladesh from October 2012 to February 2014. I also worked as an Assistant Professor in the textile department of the Ahsanullah University of Science & Technology from 2006 to 2012.
I have more than three years of direct work experience in the clothing industry between 2000 and 2006; I undertook product development, merchandising and sourcing roles in Bangladesh for European fashion retailers. As leader of a merchandising team, I was responsible for multi-million-dollar international clothing contracts and also for production and shipping co-ordination, as a part of buying and sourcing on behalf of a Swiss retailer.
Languages
I speak and write Bengali, English and German.
Consultancy and advisory roles
I am internationally involved in contributing towards curriculum development. I provided advisory input in developing curriculum for the unit “3D Virtual Fashion Prototyping” for the Bangladesh University of Textiles. I reviewed a curriculum of BSc. textile and environmental engineering of the same university last year. In 2022, I provided advisory input for developing the course of sustainable textiles at the Bartın University in Turkey.

The Digitalisation of Textiles
The Digital Fashion Network (DFN), a collaborative initiative supported by the UK Research & Innovation (UKRI),hosted the first webinar on Thursday, December 7, 2023. The online session explored how advanced digital solutions are enhancing sustainability, agility and connectivity across textile and fashion supply chains. Attendees heard from renowned industry expert, Gabrielle Shiner-Hill on the real-world application and impacts of digital technologies like digital textile twins and virtual fashion prototyping.

Research
Research Interests
My research covers the areas of digital prototyping, sustainable materials and process innovation, and smart textiles. I am leading the following research projects:
1) Digital Fashion Innovation (https://fashioninstitute.mmu.ac.uk/research/digital-fashion-innovation/)
2) Digital & Smart Apparel (https://fashioninstitute.mmu.ac.uk/research/digital-smart-apparel/)
3) Sustainable Materials Innovation (https://fashioninstitute.mmu.ac.uk/research/materials-innovation/)
Recent publications from these projects include the topics - Zero-Waste Pattern Cutting (ZWPC), Objective Fit Analysis of virtual clothing, 3D to 2D Surface Flattening, Smart Electro-Clothing Systems (SeCSs), 3D Printing, and Fibre-reinforced Sustainable Composites. I have so far published with the following journals – the Journal of Cleaner Production, the Textile Progress, the Journal of The Textile Institute, the Journal of Composite Materials, the Sensors, the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education and the International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology, the Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, which are regarded as the top-ranked journals in their respective areas. Two of my peer-reviewed outputs are submitted to REF 2021.
The “Canterbury Rugby – Body Scanning, Data Collection and Analysis” project, in which I played a key role, won the MMU Knowledge Exchange Awards in 2015.
I guest-edited a special issue on the “Digital fashion Innovation” of the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education (vol 15, no. 2). I am the sole editor of the book “Digital Fashion Innovations: Advances in Design, Simulation, and Industry” (Taylor and Francis Catalogue # 501061, ISBN: 9781032207278). Building upon my research, I have been organising the “Digital fashion Innovation” symposium since 2020. I chair the annual event “Sustainable Textile and Fashion Congress (STFC)” organised by iCongress (https://www.ilettersicongress.co.uk/stfc).
In the past, I worked with the Plasma Technology Research Group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) in Switzerland to investigate the plasma-induced graft polymerisation of multi-functional chemicals on cotton. At TU-Dresden in Germany, I investigated into both virtual clothing technology and eco-friendly water-free dyeing of textiles. My research on clothing CAD won an innovation award in the “IMB – World of Textile Processing 2009”, organised by Koelnmesse GmbH, Cologne, Germany. My undergraduate research on the preparatory processes of industrial textile colouration reached the final three of the AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colourists) student paper competition in 1999.
