Second annual MyAV范-SJTU Strategic Partner Funds recipients
1 April 2022
MyAV范 and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) have awarded seven projects funding to support innovative collaborations
Following a successful first call last year, the second annual MyAV范-SJTU Strategic Partner Funds has awarded seed funds to seven MyAV范 academics and their counterparts at SJTU.
MyAV范 and SJTU contributed joint funds to the successful projects, with each project receiving up to 拢10,000.
The joint projects will delve into topics such as marine microplastics, adaptive video streaming and sustainable personal protective equipment (PPE).
One of the funding recipients, Dr Hirak K Patra (MyAV范 Faculty of Medical Sciences), said: 鈥淚 am working with Dr Zhigang Hu from the SJTU Centre of Hydrogen Science on developing environmentally-friendly smart PPE to curb the spreading of current and future fatal viruses, including COVID-19. This project is closely aligned听with the UN SDG-3, Good Health and Well-Being goal and the proposed strategy will benefit the UK, China and beyond in developing sustainable fabrics, adsorbent and protective coating. We invite all related stakeholders, agencies, and industries to support our initiative to develop effective green PPE for the future.鈥�
