This work is inspired by my research in Brownian Motion and eventual learning about the heat equations; partial differential equations. I initially took interest because of Martin Hairer, an Austrian-British mathematician working in the field of stochastic analysis, in particular, stochastic partial differential equations. In 2020 he won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.
Brownian motion, or pedesis, is the random motion of particles suspended in a medium (a liquid or a gas). This explanation of Brownian motion served as convincing evidence that atoms and molecules exist and was further verified experimentally by Jean Perrin in 1908.
Most recently during the 2019 COVID outbreak, due to research started by American scientist, Linsey Marr, the CDC and the WHO has redefined how they categorize aerosols versus droplets. In her research, she discovered that UV light was used successfully to disinfect classroom air in the 1940s.
