Catch 22 - improving visibility of women in science and engineering for both recruitment and retention (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg Rogers, L., & Hobbs, L. (2021, May). Catch 22 - improving visibility of women in science and engineering for both recruitment and retention. Presented at PCST 2020+1, Online

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...

Citizen engagement and behaviour modelling for clean air and net zero carbon (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg Rogers, L., Csobod, E., Sardo, M., Vanherle, K., Rodrigues, V., Lopes, M., & Hayes, E. (2020, September). Citizen engagement and behaviour modelling for clean air and net zero carbon. Presented at 10th International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software, Brussels, Belgium

The environmental and health impacts of climate change and air pollution are being felt around the world and yet cohesive and collaborative policymaking to mitigate emissions are moving too slowly. Behaviour change campaigns instead focus on individu... Read More about Citizen engagement and behaviour modelling for clean air and net zero carbon.

Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Camilleri, A., Hong, J., Dogramadzi, S., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2020, May). Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction. Presented at ICRA 2020

To achieve safe close-proximity human-robot interaction , particularly for physically assitive tasks, robot motion planning needs to recognize and adapt to the behaviour of humans in the long-term. Generally, motion prediction with probabilistic conf... Read More about Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction.

An Investigation of a Morphing Flapped Wing (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Madi, F., Kanaa, Z., Narayan, P., & Yao, Y. (2020, February). An Investigation of a Morphing Flapped Wing. Paper presented at Aerospace Europe Conference (AEC2020), Bordeaux, France

This study investigated the design, development, and validation of an alternative method to achieve morphing in wings through the implementation of a sliding mechanism concept. Performance was tested at a specific Reynolds number (Re = 0.62 × 106). M... Read More about An Investigation of a Morphing Flapped Wing.
