Help far-UVC get from promising to deployed: installation tools, simulations, public-trust research and supply-chain analysis.
If far-UVC works at scale, it could make indoor spaces much safer during a pandemic. Practical barriers, not just science, are holding it back.
Output: A tool, simulation, survey or analysis.
Read the list of ideas above and pick the one you would most enjoy.
Check the source to see whether someone has already done it.
Scope it down to something you can finish in your available time.
Do a quick first version and show it to someone.
Write up what you made and share it with the source authors.
All steps done
Share what you made, then try another project. The PDF version has room for notes.
Far-UVC light might kill airborne germs in occupied rooms. Write the clear, honest explainer the field is missing: what it is, how it works, what the evidence says, and what is still uncertain.
Use a CO₂ monitor to estimate how often the air in a classroom, office or bedroom is replaced, then test what opening a window or running a fan actually does.
The source author’s top priority. Ideas range from DIY measurement to retrofit kits and modelling tools, and most need no lab.
