Light induced spiking of proteinoids (2023)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are produced by heating amino acids to their melting point and initiating polymerisation to produce polymeric chains. In aqueous solutions proteinoids swell into hollow microspheres. These microspheres produce endoge... Read More about Light induced spiking of proteinoids.

A systematic review of reverberation and accessibility for B/blind users in virtual environments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Reverberation is often used in linear and non-linear media to convey the acoustic characteristics of a space. This information is presented alongside visual stimuli to create a multi-modal experience, assisting participants in developing visual and a...

Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune (2023)
Journal Article

Growing colonies of the split-gill fungus Schizophyllum commune show action potential-like spikes of extracellular electrical potential. We analysed several days of electrical activity recording of the fungus and discovered three families of oscillat... Read More about Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune.

SWEL: A domain-specific language for modeling data-intensive workflows (2023)
Journal Article

Data-intensive applications aim at discovering valuable knowledge from large amounts of data coming from real-world sources. Typically, workflow languages are used to specify these applications, and their associated engines enable the execution of th...

No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated (2023)
Journal Article

Many organisms (including certain plant species) can be observed to emit sounds, potentially signifying threat alerts. Sensitivity to such sounds and vibrations may also play an important role in the lives of fungi. In this work, we explore the poten...

WITTAverse (2023)
Exhibition / Performance

WITTAverse was a week-long exploration of the written and spoken word in art and sound. Through it, we prototyped a model for running longer-form exploratory group collaborative activities. We had no brief and no central theme, other than a shared cu... Read More about WITTAverse.

Storage of MPs in Channel sediments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work aims to understand where microplastics (MPs) are stored within rivers. MPs are becoming prevalent in the news as studies are finding up to 14 million-tonnes of MPs on the ocean floor (Barrett et al., 2020). This is an issue as rivers drain...
