Dr. Mahboubeh Maleki-Rollin

- Lead an interdisciplinary department of ~10 project leaders within Freudenberg Group Corporate R&D, managing a portfolio of 20–30 complex R&D projects per year across multiple business groups. - Projects include strategic initiatives across Freudenberg Performance Materials, Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, Freudenberg Medical, Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions, among others, spanning early-stage ideas, proof-of-concept, new technology development and pre-new-product development.

- Development of new textile products for the professional cleaning industry (Veiled Professional), driving innovation from concept to market launch within an interdisciplinary, international team. - Successfully developed 22 new cleaning mops across three categories including: Vileda Professional BaseMicro mops Vileda Professional r-MicroLite Max mops Vileda Professional r-MicroSpeed Max mops

- Contributed to a BMWi-funded project (German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy) in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute and industrial partners. - Focused on the fabrication and characterization of new conductive fibrous electrode/bipolar composites for redox flow batteries.

- Manufactured and characterized fibrous scaffolds and constructs using biopolymers, co-assembling and self-assembling peptides, and proteins for applications in regenerative medicine, with a focus on spinal cord injury.

- Developed nanofibrous nonwoven materials (monolithic and core-shell fiber architectures) for biomedical applications, with a focus on antibiotic drug delivery systems. - Formulated drug release mechanisms from fiber constructs and predicted release profiles using artificial neural network (ANN) modeling.

- Delivered a theoretical and experimental lab course on the fundamentals of electronic and electrical engineering for BSc Textile students.
