About
Dr. Maria Eugenia Colucci is a leading researcher in environmental microbiology and disinfection science, with a specialized focus on ultraviolet (UV) radiation technologies for infection control. Her most cited work, "An overview on the use of ultraviolet radiation to disinfect air and surfaces" (2023, 6 citations), provides a comprehensive synthesis of UVC’s antimicrobial mechanisms and practical applications across healthcare, water treatment, and public spaces. This review has become a key reference for scientists and engineers seeking evidence-based strategies to combat airborne and surface-borne pathogens. Dr. Colucci’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging fundamental photobiology with real-world disinfection challenges, offering clear guidance on the safe and effective deployment of UVA, UVB, and UVC bands. Her research has informed protocols for hospital sanitation and emergency pandemic response, demonstrating immediate societal impact. By systematically cataloging the efficacy of UV against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, she has helped establish a scientific foundation for non-chemical, residue-free sterilization methods. Dr. Colucci’s work continues to influence the design of next-generation UV devices and public health policies, making her a pivotal voice in the ongoing effort to create safer indoor environments.
