Project background.
This project work package deals with the workpackage on simulations for mask performance. The SimBioSys group is leading this workpackage on simulation-based performance evaluation of breathability and filtration efficiency of face masks. Here we aim to optimize the time that masks can be used safely and comfortably. All information regarding the full Remask project can be found here.
