Mantri, D. (author), Wymenga, L.F.A. (author), van Turnhout, J. (author), van Zeijl, H.W. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Micro-devices that use electric fields to trap, analyze and inactivate micro-organisms vary in concept, design and application. The application of electric fields to manipulate and inactivate bacteria and single-celled organisms has been described extensively in the literature. By contrast, the effect of such fields on viruses is not well...review 2023

(author)Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been proven to be a useful tool in monitoring public health-related issues such as drug use, and disease. By sampling wastewater and applying WBE methods, wastewater-detectable pathogens such as viruses can be cheaply and effectively monitored, tracking people who might be missed or under-represented in...journal article 2023

(author), Post, Johan (author), Prasad, Divyae K. (author), Medema, G.J. (author)Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater (WW) is a promising tool for epidemiological surveillance, correlating not only viral RNA levels with the infection dynamics within the population, but also to viral diversity. However, the complex mixture of viral lineages in WW samples makes tracking of specific variants or lineages circulating in the...journal article 2023

Mantri, Devashish (author)Since the unravelling of the Covid-19 pandemic, studying methods of virus inactivation have become more important than ever. Many studies focus on the chemical and optical methods of inactivation. Very limited work has been carried out in studying the electrical methods of virus inactivation. The work presented in this thesis attempts to pioneer...master thesis 2022

Liu, Y.L. (author), Ortiz, Marco A. (author), Zhang, D. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)The airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in educational buildings has raised concerns during the current COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, a portable fog generator system was designed and assembled to visualise the airflow pattern of exhaled droplets in a classroom.
