Towards industrial applications of single-sample characterisation for piezoelectric materials (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The simulation of devices implemented with piezoelectric materials is often a challenge due to the need for characterisation of the materials. The only standard approach (IEEE) which can produce a full elastopiezodielectric matrix, requires multipl...

The effect of deferring feedback on rule-based and information-integration category learning (2025)
Journal Article

Previous work has shown that deferring feedback significantly impairs two-dimensional information-integration category learning, often thought to recruit an implicit learning system, but leaves intact unidimensional rule-based learning, commonly assu...

Precision single-camera eye tracking towards cognitive health assessment (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Eye tracking has been increasingly recognised as a valuable
tool for assessing cognitive health. However, many existing eye tracking systems are often expensive, imprecise, and inconvenient, which limits their accessibility and effectiveness in clin... Read More about Precision single-camera eye tracking towards cognitive health assessment.

Material characterisation for design with piezoelectric materials (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Piezoelectric materials are used in many different industries. Often, a material type will be chosen for convenience, with adequate performance and wellknown material characteristics. However, opportunities for new materials have emerged, e.g. lead-f... Read More about Material characterisation for design with piezoelectric materials.

An integrated approach to mitigate poisoning attacks in federated learning frameworks (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

While Federated learning (FL) is considered privacy-preserving by nature, it remains vulnerable to many attacks, such as data and model poisoning, that compromise data integrity and model accuracy. Conventional privacy-preserving federated learning (... Read More about An integrated approach to mitigate poisoning attacks in federated learning frameworks.

A phenomenology of hesitation, open-mindedness, and intergenerational habitus formation at older age (2025)
Journal Article

In this article, I explore how older people can experience the tensions between ‘keeping an open mind’ at older age, intergenerational shifts in cultural norms, and social separation between generations— interpreting this phenomenologically as a rupt...
