OverviewAI-generated summary

A.G. Buchan's research focuses on the inactivation of airborne viruses, particularly coronaviruses, using ultraviolet (UVC) radiation. Their work investigates the effectiveness of far-UVC light at specific wavelengths (222 nm) for reducing viral load in populated rooms. This research often employs computational modeling, including coupled radiation-computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, to predict inactivation rates and assess radiation dosages required for effective disinfection. Buchan has also published on wavelet-based methods for discretizing the Boltzmann transport equation, a fundamental equation in radiative transfer and neutron transport theory. Their scholarly contributions include 38 publications with 462 citations and an h-index of 14, indicating a consistent output of research in these specialized areas. Buchan collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Anna Eshghi, Caroline Tomanek, and Naghmeh Eshghi.
