InterPore Foundation invited proposals from graduate students on Innovative Ideas to Design and/or Improve Facemasks against Airborne Bacteria and Viruses. The proposals were reviewed by a panel of experts who rated them on the basis of 1) intellectual novelty, 2) functionality, 3) practicality, and 4) cost effectiveness.
And the winner is: Seyyed Ali Ghoreishy, Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, University of Calgary
From the evaluation: “Ghoreishy’s proposal, entitled “Nature driven designs for the new generation of self-cleaning face masks” is novel. He has identified an actual issue that has been ignored by many. It is an area that has significant merit if implemented correctly. With proper mentoring, his approach can be developed in order to produce something potentially worthwhile.”
The proposal is published here.
