Engineering and medicine come together in the time of the pandemic

See https://is.gd/9Iprdz A team within the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, led by Dr Inġ. Marc Anthony Azzopardi, has designed and built prototype equipment that uses short-wavelength Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) to substantially reduce the viral bioburden of up to nine disposable face respirators concurrently, so that they may be reused in greater safety by medical personnel facing shortages. Engineering Today Editor, Rebekah Cilia, visits the laboratory to discuss this novel biomedical engineering invention.
