The case for an intervention scale to design the balance of authority for robotic assistance (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

According to United Nations, by 2050 over 20% of the population will be over 65 years old. Ensuring that our ageing population stays independent and healthy for as long as possible requires higher numbers of health and social care professionals than...

Optimal design of grid-connected rooftop PV systems: An overview and a new approach with application to educational buildings in arid climates (2021)
Journal Article

Recently, rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems are widely deployed due to their technical, economic and socio-environmental benefits. This paper presents a new design approach, which combines spatial analysis with techno-economic optimization for a robu...

Exploring the symbol processing 'time interval' parametric constraint in a Belousov-Zhabotinsky operated chemical Turing machine (2021)
Journal Article

Chemical reactions are powerful molecular recognition machines. This power has been recently harnessed to build actual instances of each class of experimentally realizable computing automata, using exclusively small-molecule chemistry (i.e. without r...

Techno-economic modelling of micro-hydropower mini-grids in Nepal to improve financial sustainability and enable electric cooking (2021)
Journal Article

In rural Nepal, micro-hydropower plant mini-grids provide renewable electricity to thou-sands of communities but the plants often have poor financial sustainability. Widespread uptake of electric cooking in such communities is currently not feasible...
