Catch 22 - improving visibility of women in science and engineering for both recruitment and retention (2019)
Journal Article

There is a significant under-representation of women in STEM which is damaging societal progress for democratic, utilitarian, and equity reasons. However, changing stereotypes in STEM requires a solution denied by the problem-more visible female role...

Optimisation of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) through bacterial-robot interaction (2019)
Thesis

For over 100 years, Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) have been developed as eco-friendly alternatives for generating electricity via the oxidation of organic matter by bacteria. In the early 2000s, collectives of MFCs were proven fea-sible energy provider... Read More about Optimisation of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) through bacterial-robot interaction.

A fuzzy data-driven paradigmatic predictor (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Data-driven prediction of future events is to provide decision-makers Predictive Information (PI) to decrease human-error. They usually desire possession of a predictor which works independently from the humanized configurations and works efficiently... Read More about A fuzzy data-driven paradigmatic predictor.

A fuzzy paradigmatic clustering algorithm (2019)
Journal Article

Clustering algorithms resume the datasets into few number of data points such as centroids or medoids, which explain the entire dataset briefly. In the domain of data-driven machine learning, the more precision with the clustering rule leads directly... Read More about A fuzzy paradigmatic clustering algorithm.

Multiscale tailoring of helical lattice systems for bespoke thermoelasticity (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 (Meta-)Materials, e.g. functional or architectured materials that change shape in response to external stimuli, often do so by exploiting solid–solid phase transitions or concerted elastic deformations.
