Kourosh Shoele, researcher at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, has received a grant from the NSF to improve the efficacy of face masks as a defense against COVID-19. Shoele wants to understand the physics and mechanics of masks and standardize guidelines for face mask design.
“The protection afforded by face masks has emerged as a particularly important issue in the COVID-19 pandemic, and the flow physics of these types of masks is extremely complex and not well-studied, especially when it comes to the facial topology of the user,” Shoele said. The study could yield important findings for face mask design.
