Annual Consortium meeting
15 January 2025
Our recent consortium meeting was held at TU/e, where we reviewed and showed the progress across multiple work packages. Exciting developments and key milestones were shared, setting a strong foundation for the next phase of our collaborative efforts.
Key Highlights:
âš Research Presentations
đ§Ș Air Quality Studies
đ Efforts towards understanding the challenges in practice
đ€ more collaboration with Industrial Partnerships
Recent Research Milestones:
đ·Mask Protection:
Testing of FFP2 masks for inward leakage, face seal performance, and filtration efficiency
-Mucus Behavior Simulation:
Developing a tunnel with a cough machine to to mimic mucus behavior at different psychometric properties
-Ventilation Innovation:
Creating a simplified Lagrangian model
Exploring localised ventilation solutions
-Air Cleaner Performance:
Evaluating commercial air cleaning technologies to enhance indoor safety
Field measurements across diverse settings: Schools, Government buildings,
Healthcare institutions
Collaborative Insights:
Researchers Speed Dating with Industrial Partners
Knowledge Sharing Across Disciplines
Alignment of Academic Research with Industry Needs
