Masters on droplet and aerosol tracking for prevention of airborne diseases

This is one of four scholarships offered to support the development of the use of digitisation to support safe and efficient workplaces.

This project involves developing experimental methods for visualising and tracking droplets and aerosols in order to understand and help contain pathogen spread. It forms of part of a larger project dealing with the fluid mechanics of pathogen spread in the workplace and healthcare settings and how we can predict risk. The experimental data obtained will help validate computational fluid dynamics models that are being developed.
