About
Mireia Aguilar is a leading researcher in infection prevention and environmental hygiene, with a focus on innovative disinfection technologies in healthcare settings. Her work centers on evaluating the clinical efficacy of autonomous systems for terminal cleaning, particularly in high-risk environments like surgical theaters and intensive care units. Aguilar’s most cited study, “Performance of an Autonomous Sanitary Sterilisation Ultraviolet Machine (ASSUM) on terminal disinfection of surgical theaters and rooms of an intensive-intermediate care unit” (2024, 4 citations), demonstrates her pioneering contribution to the field: she rigorously assessed the feasibility and microbial reduction capabilities of a programmable UV-C robot. This research addresses a critical gap by providing evidence that autonomous UV-C delivery can significantly lower environmental bioburden, offering a scalable, labor-efficient solution for hospital infection control. Her work has immediate practical implications for reducing healthcare-associated infections, and her findings are increasingly referenced by clinicians and hospital administrators seeking to implement robotic disinfection protocols. Aguilar’s research stands out for its translational impact, bridging engineering and clinical practice to enhance patient safety.
