A transparency paradox? Investigating the impact of explanation specificity and autonomous vehicle imperfect detection capabilities on passengers (2025)
Journal Article

Transparency in automated systems could be afforded through the provision of intelligible explanations. While transparency is desirable, might it lead to catastrophic outcomes (such as anxiety) that could outweigh its benefits? It'... Read More about A transparency paradox? Investigating the impact of explanation specificity and autonomous vehicle imperfect detection capabilities on passengers.

Machine learning- and deep learning-based myoelectric control system for upper limb rehabilitation utilizing EEG and EMG signals: A systematic review (2025)
Journal Article

Upper limb disabilities, often caused by conditions such as stroke or neurological disorders, severely limit an individual’s ability to perform essential daily tasks, leading to a significant reduction in quality of life. The development of effective... Read More about Machine learning- and deep learning-based myoelectric control system for upper limb rehabilitation utilizing EEG and EMG signals: A systematic review.

Reimagining assistive walkers: An exploration of challenges and preferences in older adults (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The well-being of older adults relies significantly on maintaining balance and mobility. As physical ability declines , older adults often accept the need for assistive devices. However, existing walkers frequently fail to consider user preferences,... Read More about Reimagining assistive walkers: An exploration of challenges and preferences in older adults.

On the ethical governance of swarm robotic systems in the real world (2025)
Journal Article

In this paper, we address the question: what practices would be required for the responsible design and operation of real-world swarm robotic systems? We argue that swarm robotic systems must be developed and operated within a framework of ethical go... Read More about On the ethical governance of swarm robotic systems in the real world.

Extending structural causal models for autonomous vehicles to simplify temporal system construction & enable dynamic interactions between agents (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this work we aim to bridge the divide between autonomous vehicles and causal reasoning. Autonomous vehicles have come to increasingly interact with human drivers, and in many cases may pose risks to the physical or mental well-being of those they...

Women in Industry Wave 1 Evaluation Report 2024 (2025)
Report

The Engineering and Construction sectors are cornerstone employers in the West of England and need both greater numbers and greater diversity of new entrants to sustain growth in these industries. Through focussing on both recruitment and retention s... Read More about Women in Industry Wave 1 Evaluation Report 2024.

Mechanical anchorage system in retrofitting of RC slabs using CFRP rods and concrete jacket (2025)
Journal Article

Over the past few decades, the demand for retrofitting reinforced concrete members has risen dramatically. Retrofitting reinforced concrete slabs with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods and ultra-high-performance-fiber-reinforced-concrete (U... Read More about Mechanical anchorage system in retrofitting of RC slabs using CFRP rods and concrete jacket.

Generating causal explanations of vehicular agent behavioural interactions with learnt reward profiles (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Transparency and explainability are important features that responsible autonomous vehicles should possess, particularly when interacting with humans, and causal reasoning offers a strong basis to provide these qualities. However, even if one assumes... Read More about Generating causal explanations of vehicular agent behavioural interactions with learnt reward profiles.

Transonic aerodynamic performance analysis of a CRM joined-wing configuration (2025)
Journal Article

This study examines the aerodynamic performance of a joined-wing (JW) aircraft design based on the NASA Common Research Model (CRM), aiming to assess its potential for efficient commercial transport or cargo aircraft at transonic speed (Mach 0.85). T... Read More about Transonic aerodynamic performance analysis of a CRM joined-wing configuration.
