Aerodynamic performance optimisation of an aerofoil with combined leading-edge and trailing-edge morphing transformations (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The long-term strategy for aviation sustainability poses the need for more efficient aerodynamic designs. Many researchers have investigated innovative solutions offered by biologically inspired morphing wing concepts, with the leading- or trailing-e...

Be less scientist, be more human: Scientists and policymakers mastering the art of public engagement in environmental governance (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In environmental psychology, a disconnection from nature is often studied but a disconnection from one another is less commonly discussed. Through a similar process of industrial growth, researchers and policymakers have been distanced from fellow hu...

Finite element modelling of composite materials under impact loading, challenges and potential ways forward (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite the high performance of composite materials, they have an Achilles' heel in their susceptibility to impact damage, causing barely visible impact damage (BVID) and catastrophic failure at low loads. BVID significantly affects the performance a... Read More about Finite element modelling of composite materials under impact loading, challenges and potential ways forward.

The role of enjoyment and affective arousal in air pollution and climate change decision-making (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Diverse citizens need to be involved in net zero transitions to ensure policy interventions do not entrench inequalities for people from minoritised or disenfranchised groups and ensure public engagement with rapid social changes. This talk draws on... Read More about The role of enjoyment and affective arousal in air pollution and climate change decision-making.

The structural behavior of recycled aggregate concrete walls under fire exposure: A finite element analysis (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Climate change is raising the demand for change in the construction industry, particularly in the concrete industry. One of the approaches to increase sustainability in the concrete industry is the use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Many studi...

Introducing authentic assessments in the unit ‘Composite materials for sustainability’ (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

‘Composite materials for sustainability’ is a new unit, worth 20 credit points, and is offered to students on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at the University of Bristol. The unit is compulsory for PGT students taking MSc Advanced Composit... Read More about Introducing authentic assessments in the unit ‘Composite materials for sustainability’.

Living the change you want to see: The importance of role modelling and mentoring for diverse culture change (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As a social psychologist, Laura explores how to embed theories about groups and communications into practice, developing projects with communities to enable climate action and sustainable development. In this talk, she outlines how role modelling and... Read More about Living the change you want to see: The importance of role modelling and mentoring for diverse culture change.

A two-stage approach using YOLO for automated assessment of digital dermatitis within Dairy Cattle (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Digital dermatitis stands as a primary cause of lameness in dairy cows, significantly impacting various facets of productivity. This paper proposes an innovative two-stage vision system aimed at early detection of digital dermatitis (DD) lesions, ult...
