Wave cellular automata for computing applications (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a continuous urge for higher efficiency in conventional computing systems, driven by an ever-growing demand for these systems' complexity to be able to match the one of convoluted and challenging problems. However, this type of problems has... Read More about Wave cellular automata for computing applications.

Unconventional logic on unipolar CBRAM based oscillators (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Plenty of unconventional computing techniques aim to compete with, if not outperform, traditional computers in solving high-complexity problems. The classical von Neumann computing architecture depends on centralized and sequential data processing, w... Read More about Unconventional logic on unipolar CBRAM based oscillators.

Knowledge4COVID-19: A semantic-based approach for constructing a COVID-19 related knowledge graph from various sources and analyzing treatments’ toxicities (2022)
Journal Article

In this paper, we present Knowledge4COVID-19, a framework that aims to showcase the power of integrating disparate sources of knowledge to discover adverse drug effects caused by drug–drug interactions among COVID-19 treatments and pre-existing condi...

Need for design patterns: Interoperability issues and modelling challenges for observational data (2022)
Preprint / Working Paper

Interoperability issues concerning observational data have gained attention in recent times. Automated data integration is important when it comes to the scientific analysis of observational data from different sources. However, it is hampered by var...

Load bearing, compliant manipulator using non-linear frictional elements (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Tendon driven continuum manipulators have advantages such as being able to deform around and through their environment, but this typically comes at the cost of reduced precision and load bearing capabilities. This paper presents a strong, compliant m... Read More about Load bearing, compliant manipulator using non-linear frictional elements.

Material design strategies for emulating neuromorphic functionalities with resistive switching memories (2022)
Journal Article

Nowadays, the huge power consumption and the inability of the conventional circuits to deal with real-time classification tasks have necessitated the devising of new electronic devices with inherent neuromorphic functionalities. Resistive switching m... Read More about Material design strategies for emulating neuromorphic functionalities with resistive switching memories.

Non-Gaussian signatures of a thermal Big Bang (2022)
Journal Article

What if Big Bang was hot from its very inception? This is possible in a bimetric theory where the source of fluctuations is thermal, requiring the model to live on a critical boundary in the space of parameters and can be realized when an anti-DBI br...

Art and design practices as a driver for deformable controls, textures and screen interactions (2022)
Thesis

In this thesis, we demonstrate the innovative uses of deformable interfaces to help de-velop future digital art and design interactions. The great benefits of advancing digital art can often come at a cost of tactile feeling and physical expression,...

Social media usage amongst University of Botswana first year undergraduate students (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite extensive literature about social media usage among tertiary students, little is reported about Botswana's context. This study therefore seeks to investigate the extent of social media adoption among University of Botswana (UB) first year stu...

Can't touch this: Rethinking public technology in a COVID-19 era (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

What do pedestrian crossings, ATMs, elevators and ticket machines have in common? These are just a few of the ubiquitous yet essential elements of public-space infrastructure that rely on physical buttons or touchscreens; common interactions that, un...
