About the author

Yordan Kyosev has been Head of the Chair of Assembly Technology for Textile Products at ITM, TU Dresden since 2019, where he teaches courses related to joining of flexible materials (sewing and welding machines and processes, machines for preparation of the apparel production, product development for apparel production). From 1997 to 2005, he was an assistant professor at TU Sofia, where he was teaching construction and development of sewing and textile machines, technical mechanics, and knitting technology. From 2006 to 2019, he was professor at Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. Dr. Kyosev is the founder and main developer of the company TexMind, which provides software for engineering development and simulation of textile structures, sewing stitches for their joining and the processes of the formations of both structures and stitches. He uses his software packages (Braider, Braiding Machine Configurator, Warp Knitting Editor, Stitch Creator, TexMind Viewer) to generate large numbers of illustrations and pictures in his books. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics, published by SAGE (IF 2.2), founder and editor of the diamond open access Journal Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products.
