I, Dr. Vemuri .S.R.S Praveen Kumar from a reputed family in the Ongole, Praksasm District, Andhra Pradesh in India. My father is a gold Appraiser in Andhra bank. I am a Post Graduate of Master of Technology (M.Tech) from the prestigious University of Tamilnadu, Shanmuga Arts, Science, Technology and Research Academy (SASTRA). I have been an Academically Diligent student throughout my high school & college, having scored 82.0% in X, 85.30% in XII and an aggregate of 6.89 (CGPA) in my B.Tech & 7.37 (CGPA) in my M.Tech. Area of Research Interest – My area of research interest includes Nanotechnology and its applications, Material Science and Engineering, Nano structured Materials, Optical Filters, Rugate, Graded designs and Thin Films coatings. Research Background – Till now I have worked in the field of synthesis of nano particles like ZnO Nano Rods preparation by Solution combustion method. I have also worked in the field of Thin films coating Techniques in SCL, Mohali in the device of CMUT (capacitive Micro machined Ultrasonic Transducer) for ultra sound imaging application. I have studied spectroscopic techniques in detail in my coursework and I have experience of handling Spray Pyrolysis Technique, AFM, spin coater, Electron beam Coating unit etc. Future Research Interest- In the future I would like to continue doing work in the field of nanostructures, and thin film coatings, for futuristic applications and study their mechanical, magnetic, and optical properties. In addition to this, I would like to combine the interdisciplinary approach of various fields in my work. “The Way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” – Walt Disney

What is N95 mask and Normal Mask?
The N95 mask consists of four layers, the bottom layer is one in which exposed to the external environment. They are bonded together on the exterior. Inner layers are often treated with metal ions that interact with viral particles to trap them inside. These masks are rated to trap most particles (95%) that are larger than 300µm. This is why they are most needed by healthcare workers in pathogen filled environments.
The normal mask consists of two layers, the bottom layer is having thin layer nanofiber structures which are in the range of 300 microns.
As from the above research photographs of N95 which I have collected from the blog post of BABO989 and Normal Mask images collected by my self from the foldscope microscope.
I found that usage of the N95 mask protects the bacteria widely than the normal mask which having two-layer fiber structures. With this, I can suggest the people who are traveling outside at regular intervals should ware the N95 mask rather than the normal mask.
