Insights into the dynamics of ligand-induced dimerisation via mathematical modelling and analysis (2022)
Journal Article

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor (VEGFR) system plays a role in cancer and many other diseases. It is widely accepted that VEGFR receptors dimerise in response to VEGF binding. However, analysis of these mechanisms and their imp... Read More about Insights into the dynamics of ligand-induced dimerisation via mathematical modelling and analysis.

The problem with picking: Permittance, escape and shame in problematic skin picking (2022)
Thesis

Problematic skin picking is a poorly understood experience characterised by a drive to repeatedly pick the skin and related psychosocial impact. Researchers have sought to understand and conceptualise this picking through noting its common characteri...

Virtual inertia as an energy dissipation element for haptic interfaces (2022)
Journal Article

Adding virtual damping to dissipate energy has been a major tool for designing stable haptic interfaces in most passivity-based approaches. However, virtual damping is known to dissipate a limited amount of energy. It even generates energy during hig...
