Estimating the energy cost of (artificial) evolution (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This short discussion paper sets out to explore the question: what is the energy cost of evolving complex artificial life? The paper takes an unconventional approach by first estimating the energy cost of natural evolution and, in particular, the spe...

U-model based LMI robust controller design (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this study, an LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) based H� robust controller design approach is proposed to improve the performance of the designed U-pole placement control systems. Unlike the classical design procedures, the control-oriented U-model... Read More about U-model based LMI robust controller design.

An investigation into predicting vortex ring state in rotary aircraft (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Results from wind tunnel experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations have been presented which suggest it may be possible to predict when a rotary aircraft will enter Vortex Ring State (VRS). Results suggest that the formation of a... Read More about An investigation into predicting vortex ring state in rotary aircraft.

Effects of micro blowing/suction flow control devices on a NACA0015 airfoil (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As a newly emerged active flow control technique, micro blowing/suction has shown a great potential in reducing the skin friction of turbulent flows. Throughout comprehensive analyses of active flow control of micro blowing/suction devices for a NACA... Read More about Effects of micro blowing/suction flow control devices on a NACA0015 airfoil.

Surface modification of microbial fuel cells anodes: Approaches to practical design (2014)
Journal Article

Anode modification was explored as an approach to enhance the startup and improve the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) inoculated with mixed cultures for wastewater treatment. Carbon cloth (CC) anodes were modified by electrochemical oxidat... Read More about Surface modification of microbial fuel cells anodes: Approaches to practical design.
