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 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...

Navigating urban futures: Crafting an experimental framework for eye-tracking integrated virtual reality in co-creative planning (2025)
Book Chapter

Wheelchair users (WCUs) often face unnecessary risks and socio-economic exclusion due to inadequate urban infrastructure. In this context, adopting participatory design (PD) in urban infrastructure planning proffers socially inclusive urban developme...

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...

Mapping spatiotemporal variability of wet season surface water processes in the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin, Namibia using stable isotopes (2025)
Journal Article

Water stable isotopes are essential for tracing hydrological processes by identifying water sources, tracking evaporation loss, and assessing floodwater dynamics to improve water management and flood mitigation strategies. However, their application... Read More about Mapping spatiotemporal variability of wet season surface water processes in the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin, Namibia using stable isotopes.

Uncertainty quantification of dynamic response in wind turbines with a geometric nonlinear tuned mass-damper-inerter (2025)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the dynamic response of a monopile wind turbine equipped with a geometric nonlinear tuned mass-damper-inerter (NTMDI) under parametric uncertainties. Several probability distributions, including normal, uniform, and Rayleigh,... Read More about Uncertainty quantification of dynamic response in wind turbines with a geometric nonlinear tuned mass-damper-inerter.

Smartphone as a sensor in mHealth: Narrative overview, SWOT analysis, and proposal of mobile biomarkers (2025)
Journal Article

Digital applications for supporting health management often fail to achieve large-scale adoption. Costs related to purchasing, maintaining, and using medical or sensor devices, such as smartwatches, currently hinder uptake and sustained engagement, p...
