This research investigates the safety of hydrogen vehicles and refuelling infrastructure using advanced computer simulations of fires and explosions. Findings suggest protective barriers can reduce blast pressures by 60–90%. The work provides…
This research investigates whether replacing meat with fish could improve nutrition while supporting more sustainable diets. Modelling UK and Irish dietary data found that replacing even 25% of meat increased intake of key nutrients, including…
This research investigates whether Alexa can support speech practice for people with Parkinson’s disease. After eight weeks of home use, nine of ten participants developed stronger voices. Although not a replacement for professional speech therapy,…
This research examines the experiences of South Asian women filmmakers in the UK, revealing how economic inequality intersects with race, migration, gender and caring responsibilities. Interviews show significant barriers to careers and funding, but…
This research investigates how wind transports sand across Mars to improve the safety of future space missions. Combining measurements from Earth-based analogue dunes with computational modelling and NASA satellite data, the approach predicts…
This research examines bereavement among UK university students, finding that one in five surveyed met criteria for prolonged grief disorder and experienced significant academic disruption. University support is often difficult to access or poorly…
This research examines mental health and help-seeking among neurodivergent young people. Northern Ireland data reveal substantially higher rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, alongside greater online help-seeking. The…
This research investigates why children struggle to learn pronouns and why these difficulties vary across languages. Through cross-linguistic experiments and eye-tracking, it shows that pronouns pose an intrinsic processing challenge. Some languages…
