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.

“They were aware of who I was as a person”: Patients’ and health professionals’ experiences of using the PEGASUS intervention to facilitate decision-making around breast reconstruction (2021)
Journal Article

Objective: Many women choose to have breast reconstruction after mastectomy, however, decision-making can be difficult and expectations are often unmet. The PEGASUS intervention (Patient Expectations and Goals: Assisting Shared Understanding of Surge...

Low-frequency oscillation damping control for large-scale power system with simplified virtual synchronous machine (2021)
Journal Article

This study focuses on a virtual synchronous machine (VSM) based on voltage source converters to mimic the behavior of synchronous machines (SMs) and improve the damping ratio of the power system. The VSM model is simplified according to some assumpti... Read More about Low-frequency oscillation damping control for large-scale power system with simplified virtual synchronous machine.
