Act now - From science communication to action – time to focus on society’s change makers (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The effects of climate change are now being felt around the world, and yet cohesive and collaborative policymaking to mitigate impacts are moving too slowly. Indeed the latest scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has w...

The butterfly effect: Facilitating and enabling citizen self-organising for systemic change (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this presentation for the Public Communication of Science and Technology conference, Sophie draws on three case studies from her own research that exemplify the changing nature of public engagement on climate change and air pollution. She explain... Read More about The butterfly effect: Facilitating and enabling citizen self-organising for systemic change.

Catch 22 - improving visibility of women in science and engineering for both recruitment and retention (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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 ro...

Standards and regulations for physically assistive robots**Research supported by Lloyds Register Foundation, under the Assuring Antonomy International Programme (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we consider the regulations that currently exist in relation to supporting people in the home and in different care settings. Using existing standards and guidelines that relate to assistive technology and care in the UK, we consider wh...

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...

Pulsed thermography digital motion stabilization for the unmanned vehicle inspection of solar farms and GFRP wind blades through UAVs and UGVs (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The quality control of structures and fuselages in both the wind-turbine and solar sectors is a fundamental part that allows a lifetime assessment of their elements, from its initial assembly to the recurring inspection cycles. Automating the active... Read More about Pulsed thermography digital motion stabilization for the unmanned vehicle inspection of solar farms and GFRP wind blades through UAVs and UGVs.
