Experts and health officials around the world agree that the COVID pandemic is not going away for a while, and masks are going to be a part of our lives for protection against the infection and spread of the virus. Currently, the masks that we use are not very comfortable and do not provide 100% protection. A better mask design with more effective materials can provide comfort and safety. In this project, you will conduct research to understand the physics behind the spread of desease through aerosols; and effectiveness of various materials on filtering the aerosols, deactivating its virus content and providing comfort.
This multidisciplinary project brings biology, material science and fluid mechanics together. Students from these backgrounds are welcome to apply individually or as a team. Please contact syesilyurt@sabanciuniv.edu for more information.
