Control of friction by imposing vibration between sliding surfaces and its influence on the efficiency of gears (2022)
Thesis

The worm and wheel type gear arrangement is the usual choice for heavy duty applications requiring large operating torques. However, it is dominated by the sliding action of gear teeth which causes high frictional losses that significantly impact eff...

Rapid identification of foodborne pathogens in limited resources settings using a handheld Raman spectroscopy device (2022)
Journal Article

Featured Application: Here, we report a practical and precise method for the identification of foodborne pathogenic bacteria using a Raman handheld device equipped with an orbital raster scan (ORS) technology that enables the system to generate a dis...

Mirror-based robotic therapy for ankle recovery with a serious game: A case study with a neurological patient (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Neuromuscular disorders, such as foot drop, severely affect the locomotor function and walking independence after a brain injury event. Mirror-based robotic therapy (MRT) has been a promising rehabilitation strategy favouring upper limb muscle streng...
