Catch 22 - improving visibility of women in science and engineering for both recruitment and retention (2019)
Journal Article

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 role...

High-performance bio-inspired composite T-joints (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd This paper introduces a novel bio-inspired design strategy based on the optimised topology of bird bone's joint to improve the strength-to-weight ratio and damage tolerance of composite T-joints. Better structuring the constituent... Read More about High-performance bio-inspired composite T-joints.

Induced voltages in metallic pipelines due to lightning strikes to nearby power lines (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Installing pipelines in energy utility corridors containing high-voltage AC transmission lines subjects the pipelines to induced AC voltages which is a real and serious problem which can place both operator safety and pipeline integrity at risk. In c... Read More about Induced voltages in metallic pipelines due to lightning strikes to nearby power lines.

Woven fabrics in book conservation: An investigation into the properties of aerolinen and aerocotton (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Facilities management’s adoption of building information modelling within the National Health Service (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As the UK's National Health Service (NHS) turned 70 years old in 2018, there have been rising questions about its future, while it continues to run a budget deficit. Now faced with doing more with less, it is imperative the NHS finds more efficient w...

Towards the development of a Digital Twin: A comparative study of 3D data acquisition methods for mechanical and electrical assets (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Point clouds and photogrammetry are becoming a quasi-standard as representation tools for capturing existing assets condition and for monitoring the progress and development of new assets. This is apparent to several industries related to constructio...

Influence of blends of diesel and renewable fuels on compression ignition engine emissions over transient engine conditions (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd To reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released from transportation the EU has implemented legislation to mandate the renewable content of petrol and diesel fuels. However, due to the complexity of the combustion process the addit...

Neuromorphic liquid marbles with aqueous carbon nanotube cores (2019)
Journal Article

Neuromorphic computing devices attempt to emulate features of biological nervous systems through mimicking the properties of synapses, towards implementing the emergent properties of their counterparts, such as learning. Inspired by recent advances i... Read More about Neuromorphic liquid marbles with aqueous carbon nanotube cores.

Living architecture: Toward energy generating buildings powered by microbial fuel cells (2019)
Journal Article

In this study, possibilities of integrating microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology and buildings were investigated. Three kinds of conventional house bricks from two different locations were tested as MFC reactors and their electrochemical characterist...
