Brigitt Antonia Egloff serves as Lecturer and Deputy Head of Textile Design at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) within the School of Design, Film and Art. With continuous teaching since 1999 in the BA Textile Design program and from 2012-2018 in the Master's program, she maintains active research and teaching roles while leading international collaborations with institutions including National Institute of Design (India), Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, and Sichuan School of Fine Arts (China). Her research centers on sustainable material strategies, specializing in textile recycling systems, natural fiber applications, and innovative color systems for solar photovoltaics. She pioneers the cross-disciplinary integration of textile design methodologies into non-textile domains—particularly solar energy systems—while emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between research and pedagogy. Current projects explore circular economy frameworks, sustainable medical textiles, and architectural solar integration. Recent publications reveal strong thematic focus on circular textile design (33% of recent output), solar-textile integration (27%), and sustainable manufacturing processes (20%), with growing emphasis on medical applications and cross-cultural design pedagogy. Her work consistently bridges theoretical research with industrial implementation through Innosuisse projects. Egloff's artistic contributions have earned significant recognition: Berlin Studio Fellowship for Artistic Work (2017) Chicago Studio Fellowship for Artistic Work (2017) Artistic Work Grant (2008) Artistic Work Grant (1998) She directs multiple interdisciplinary research initiatives including CIMProW (Circular Innovation: Medical Protective Wear), Solar Design Tools, and Textile Recycling 4.0, collaborating with EMPA, SUPSI, and textile industry partners. Her leadership extends to the Textile Design program's Examination Board and supervision of student research in sustainable material innovation. Current projects like Circle Up Textiles 2 and SpinnLab demonstrate her commitment to closing textile waste loops through industrial-academic partnerships. As Deputy Head of Textile Design since 2010, Egloff shapes curriculum development and research strategy within HSLU's Textile Design Lab, fostering student engagement with real-world sustainability challenges through projects like Viscosilab and TESS (Textile Eco System Sleep). Her 'Design and Sustainability' framework informs both pedagogy and industry collaborations.
