The application of eye-tracking technology in architecture engineering and construction industry: A systematic review (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite the scholarly attention on eye-tracking technology in the AEC industry, no studies thus far have attempted to aggregate the findings or knowledge. To bridge this gap and to better understand the state-of-the-art of eye-tracking technology’s a...

Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study presents the analysis and optimisation of a novel deployment mechanism that utilises the shape memory effect inherent in Nickel-Titanium alloys, namely Nitinol. The mechanism is currently designed to secure and deploy solar panels on board... Read More about Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism.

The Design of a 3U CubeSat to Monitor the Great Pacific Garbage Patch following a Systems Engineering Approach (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper proposes a novel application of a CubeSat to help tackle one of the most alarming calamities in the present time, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). One of six similar accumulations of garbage across the world’s oceans, the GPGP is wi...

Topology morphing lattice structures (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Planar cellular lattice structures subject to axial compression may undergo elastic bending or buckling of the unit cells. If sufficient compression is applied, the columns of adjacent cells make contact. This changes the topology of the lattice by e... Read More about Topology morphing lattice structures.
