USask engineers developing air filter to deactivate COVID-19 virus
Chemical and biological engineering professor Jafar Soltan is working with PhD candidate Nazanin Charchi to develop technology that neutralizes the COVID-19 virus.
The team is using the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan to take high-resolution images of their device while it is in action to gain a deeper knowledge of the sanitation process. They will use that information to optimize its performance.
Watch Soltan and Charchi explain their work at the CLS:
Cleaning the air we breathe. #CLSvsCOVID
They also spoke to several media outlets about their work.
