Collaborative Motion for Mobile Platforms
In dense cluttered environments, autonomous physical agents will face many challenges including limited routes, obstructed sensors, and limited communication. Equipping the agents with inter-agent communication alleviates some of the issues, but providing a mechanism for forming groups allows the …

Secure computation on untrusted platforms
In this thesis, we present two lines of research developing tools that, in addition to being of independent theoretical interest, yield improved protocols for secure out-sourcing of computation: Succinct Garbling Schemes. A garbling scheme is a way to encode a program P and input x as P̃̃ and x̃ …

Structural evaluation of fixed offshore platforms
In fixed offshore structures, damage incurred below the waterline is often difficult to detect, but significant enough to be the source of a subsequent massive failure. A technique is described that can be used to detect subsurface structural failure by detecting changes in the natural frequencies …

Antisolvent crystallisation in oscillatory baffled platforms
… baffled crystallisers (OBCs) are platforms that generate intense mixing by the oscillatory motion of fluid through periodic constrictions, referred to as baffles. The oscillatory motion generates eddy currents through these baffles and induce highly turbulent and efficient mixing. …

Decision-support for decommissioning offshore platforms.
… a decision model for decommissioning offshore platforms is developed. The decommissioning decision model (DDM) aids logical determination of the optimal option for decommissioning a platform through a multicriteria decision analysis of the considered options with respect to safety, cost, …

Novel Resorcinol Platforms with Pharmaceutical Applications
The rationale behind this work is the discovery that a number of natural bromophenols from algae have antibiotic and antioxidant activities. Most natural compounds are based on phenol and catechol. Previous studies by the group investigated a novel class of halogenated compounds based on resorcinol …
