Extending structural causal models for autonomous vehicles to simplify temporal system construction & enable dynamic interactions between agents (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this work we aim to bridge the divide between autonomous vehicles and causal reasoning. Autonomous vehicles have come to increasingly interact with human drivers, and in many cases may pose risks to the physical or mental well-being of those they...

Sustainable transportation solutions: Life cycle analysis of emissions reduction in heavy duty vehicles under evolving EU standards (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a detailed analysis of operational emissions and energy use for Diesel and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDVs) under the evolving EU7 regulatory standards, which are expected to be implemented by 2027. By focus... Read More about Sustainable transportation solutions: Life cycle analysis of emissions reduction in heavy duty vehicles under evolving EU standards.

A novel system for automated continuous on-farm assessment of digital dermatitis using Artificial Intelligence (2025)
Journal Article

Digital dermatitis (DD) is a major cause of lameness in cattle, significantly affecting animal well-being and reducing productivity across the dairy industry. This paper introduces a novel system combining innovative hardware coupled with a two-stage... Read More about A novel system for automated continuous on-farm assessment of digital dermatitis using Artificial Intelligence.

Reimagining assistive walkers: An exploration of challenges and preferences in older adults (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The well-being of older adults relies significantly on maintaining balance and mobility. As physical ability declines , older adults often accept the need for assistive devices. However, existing walkers frequently fail to consider user preferences,... Read More about Reimagining assistive walkers: An exploration of challenges and preferences in older adults.

A discussion on two alternative approaches to CT coupon based K1C determination providing results comparable with ASTM E 399 (2025)
Journal Article

The value of Plane Strain Fracture Toughness of a material calculated in accordance with the ASTM E 399 has been noted to be a specimen size-dependent value. The size-dependency of the same with respect to ductile materials has been an area of debate...

Development of low carbon concrete and a machine learning integrated model tool for predicting strength and embodied carbon for lightweight concrete production (2025)
Thesis

The use of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) as an alternative cement replacement material has shown good results in producing near green concrete. While GGBS exhibits good cementitious properties, concerns regarding slow strength developme...

Immersive emergency preparedness: Enhancing tunnel operations with virtual reality door closure training (2025)
Book Chapter

Infrastructure projects, particularly tunnel construction, demand meticulous safety measures due to the complexities involved and the significant risks posed by heavy machinery operations. Despite relying on traditional safety drills and standardized... Read More about Immersive emergency preparedness: Enhancing tunnel operations with virtual reality door closure training.

Virtual reality simulation of pedestrian evacuation in earthquake scenarios: Informing urban design for enhanced evacuation (2025)
Book Chapter

Urban risk analysis traditionally relies on 2D maps and models, which, while effective for static risk mapping, lack the ability to realistically simulate dynamic emergency scenarios. The investigation presented in this chapter explores the integrati...

Virtual reality approach to enhancing hazard perception in construction using eye-tracking and deep learning (2025)
Book Chapter

Over 50% of onsite hazards remain unrecognized, primarily due to poor hazard perception and attention deficits. Eye-tracking can help in understanding human visual attention and cognitive response, but its application in construction has been restric...
