    E-textiles, or electronic textiles, are being developed for a variety of commercial and research uses in healthcare, military uniforms, first responder uniforms, and entertainment. Mark T. Jones, an Associate Professor from Virginia Tech, will give a talk on the design of electronic textile applications at NASA Langley Research Center. He will review the current state of e-textiles and their commercial uses. Jones will also focus on the design framework for e-textiles being developed at Virginia Tech's E-Textiles Laboratory, elaborating on two application prototypes: a wearable system for human gait analysis and an autonomous garment for determining a wearer's location in a building.

    RELEASE: 04-042

    NOTE TO EDITORS
    E-TEXTILES BELIEVED TO HAVE VARIETY OF USES

    Significant commercial and research efforts are currently underway to develop a wide array
    of electronic textiles (e-textiles) for application in health care, military and first-responder
    uniforms, and entertainment.

    Mark T. Jones, Associate Professor, Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer


    Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, will speak on "The Design of
    Electronic Textile Applications" at a colloquium at 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 13.

    Media Briefing: A media briefing will be held at 1:15 p.m. at the H.J.E. Reid
    Conference Center, 14 Langley Blvd., NASA Langley Research Center. Members of
    the media who wish to attend should contact Kimberly W. Land at (757) 864-9885 or
    344-8611 (mobile) to arrange for credentials.

    Jones will review the state-of-the-art in e-textiles and examine today's commercial uses. He
    will especially focus on the design framework for e-textiles under development in the E-
    Textiles Laboratory at Virginia Tech. Jones will elaborate on two application prototypes: a
    wearable system for human gait analysis and an autonomous garment for determining the
    wearer's location in a building.

    Jones earned a bachelor's degree from Clemson University in 1986 and a doctorate in
    Computer Science from Duke University in 1990. During his graduate work, Jones spent
    time at NASA Langley Research Center in the area of parallel computation.

    After graduation, he joined the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne
    National Laboratory working in large-scale scientific computing. In 1993, Jones joined the
    Computer Science faculty at the University of Tennessee, where his interest in embedded
    computing began. He moved to Virginia Tech in 1997 and, in 2000, formed the E-Textiles
    Lab at Tech with Dr. Thomas Martin.
