Date/Time: Friday 19th June, 2020. 4:00pm BST/11am EDT
Title: The Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission
Abstract: The fundamental mechanisms governing infectious disease transmission and contamination by most pathogens remain poorly understood. Fluid processes and physical laws at various scales combined with biological processes are key in filling this gap. We will discuss how fluids and their dynamics are critical in shaping pathogen transport. We will present an overview of our approach, combining theory and experiments, to elucidate droplet formation and transport in the context of contamination in a range of systems.
This will be a live event only, with no video recording available.
The webinar will take place on Zoom. Register for this event and the whole series here.
