A professor at Waterloo Engineering collaborated with researchers in New Zealand on the development of a method to disinfect personal protective equipment (PPE) for reuse or recycling.
Bill Anderson, a professor of chemical engineering, lent his expertise on disinfection using ultraviolet light to a multidisciplinary effort triggered by a shortage of PPE early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This collaboration with New Zealand researchers was a timely and beneficial way to bring together a diverse set of expertise, research laboratory resources, and healthcare needs,” said Anderson, who helped with experiment design, methodologies and data interpretation.
