The kick-off meeting was held at the Warsaw University of Technology on 29-30 January.Through intensive discussions and brainstorming, we carefully defined the roadmap for the coming months, both in terms of attracting excellent candidates and a research programme full of challenges and new ideas.We are excited about the opportunity to …
Objectives: Previous studies show some evidence that the personnel are the major source of microorganisms (colony forming units, CFU). However, absolute numbers and exact knowledge about the human emission of CFU is missing. This project aims at gaining more knowledge on the emission from the personnel (in particular the surgical …
Objectives: The primary objective is create novel knowledge and experimental data to model the generation and short range distribution of airborne microbial pollutant from human activities and integrate it into numerical models for performing human exposure risk assessment. Expected Results: A comprehensive experimental protocol for characterizing the generation and short …
Objectives: The primary objective is to develop new knowledge about the flow patterns and thermal parameters in vicinity of surgeons, medical staff and patients depending on their activity and body positions, clothing and surgical procedure. Expected Results: Detailed characteristics of the micro-environment generated by the surgeons and medical staff for …
Objectives: This DC project aims to characterize the dynamic airflow pattern and heat/mass transfer in surgical site microenvironment control in operating rooms. Expected Results: Gain fundamental knowledge of the airflow distribution and heat transfer in the microenvironment; Experimental measurement results of micro scale turbulent airflow velocity distribution; Models of heat/mass …
Objectives: to generate new knowledge of adaptable ventilation for improving environment and the performance of ventilation in hospital patient rooms considering the needs of patients and personal. Expected Results: Improved knowledge on heat and mass exchange between human body and surrounding and its efficient control (base on sophisticated measurements). Development …
Objectives: to develop methods and an instrument leveraging the unprecedented pace of technical progresses in esciences, namely use fluid simulations and augmented reality to make visible bacterial contamination. Expected Results: Gain fundamental knowledge of both airflow and contaminant distribution; Model validation and propose the most relevant boundary setups for an …
