About the instructor: 

Dr. Peter Tsai is a senior faculty at the Textiles and Nonwovens Development Center (TANDEC) at the University of Tennessee. He has extensive industrial as well as academic experiences.  He has investigated the nonwoven processes to make fibrous filter media for 20 years and developed theories, technologies, and computer programs to improve the nonwoven processes and the product qualities of filter media. He developed several powerful electrostatic charging technologies that greatly improved more than 10-fold filtration efficiency of a filter medium. These charging technologies have been licensed to over 30 companies worldwide. His expertise also includes designs and constructions of the media chargers and industrial meltblown lines.  

Dr. Tsai is well recognize in his fields and has had numerous invitations as visiting professors by overseas universities, has been teaching filtration short courses to TAPPI, Asian Filtration and Separation conferences and industrial companies all over the world in the past 20 years.
