Additional information

A multidisciplinary and seminal study of the photocatalytic inactivation of a major waterborne pathogen in US, Europe and developing countries. Nanostructured TiO2 materials were shown to enable inactivation through photocatalysis and viability analysis of the pathogen was established without the need for animal tests thus enabling a rapid process to assess the efficiency of photocatalytic water disinfection. The work helped us secure additional funding (from NSF, Science Foundation Ireland, DEL N. Ireland - NSF-CBET Award 1033317) to study the degradation mechanism of bacterial toxins in collaboration with US (Cincinnati & Florida) and Ireland.
