Co-creation in citizen science: Sharing learnings and good practice from an indoor, airborne microplastics project (2024)
Journal Article

HOMEs was a citizen science exploratory project, aimed at investigating the presence of airborne microplastics in people's homes. Participants placed passive samplers in their homes, using low-cost microscopes to see and take pictures of their sample...

Airborne microplastic monitoring: Developing a simplified outdoor sampling approach using pollen monitoring equipment (2024)
Journal Article

A novel, yet simple, airborne microplastic (MP) sampling approach using global pollen monitoring equipment was applied to identify, characterise and quantify outdoor airborne MPs for the first time. Modification of Burkard spore trap tape adhesive pr... Read More about Airborne microplastic monitoring: Developing a simplified outdoor sampling approach using pollen monitoring equipment.

Optimisation of small-scale aquaponics systems using artificial intelligence and the IoT: Current status, challenges, and opportunities (2024)
Journal Article

Environment changes, water scarcity, soil depletion, and urbanisation are making it harder to produce food using traditional methods in various regions and countries. Aquaponics is emerging as a sustainable food production system that produces fish a...

Rapid identification of foodborne pathogens in limited resources settings using a handheld Raman spectroscopy device (2022)
Journal Article

Featured Application: Here, we report a practical and precise method for the identification of foodborne pathogenic bacteria using a Raman handheld device equipped with an orbital raster scan (ORS) technology that enables the system to generate a dis...

Vision based semantic runway segmentation from simulation with deep convolutional neural networks (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Manned flight crew rely upon optical imagery to make sense of the world and carry out high level guidance, navigation & control tasks. To advance autonomous aircraft’s capabilities and safety, programmes need to be developed that aim to achieve pilot...

The quiet revolution in machine vision - A state-of-the-art survey paper, including historical review, perspectives, and future directions (2021)
Journal Article

Over the past few years, what might not unreasonably be described as a true revolution has taken place in the field of machine vision, radically altering the way many things had previously been done and offering new and exciting opportunities for tho...

Shedding smart light on the effectiveness of chemotherapy: using Raman spectroscopy and machine learning to differentiate the effects of Cytarabine toxicity and crosstalk of leukaemic and bone marrow stromal cells (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) protect leukaemic cells from drug-induced toxicity within the bone marrow niche, with increasing evidence of leukaemic impact on supportive stroma. The nucleoside analogue, cytarabine (ara-C), is a front-line agent for...

Image segmentation of underfloor scenes using a mask regions convolutional neural network with two-stage transfer learning (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Enclosed spaces are common in built structures but pose a challenge to many forms of manual or robotic surveying and maintenance tasks. Part of this challenge is to train robot systems to understand their environment without huma...
