Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ilyas, M., Ahmad, J., Lawson, A., Khan, J. S., Tahir, A., Adeel, A., Larijani, H., Kerrouche, A., Shaikh, M. G., Buchanan, W., & Hussain, A. (2019, July). Height Prediction for Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment Planning Using Deep Learning. Presented at 10th International Conference, BICS 2019, Guangzhou, China

Prospective studies using longitudinal patient data can be used to help to predict responsiveness to Growth Hormone (GH) therapy and assess any suspected risks. In this paper, a novel Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is developed to predict gr... Read More about Height Prediction for Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment Planning Using Deep Learning.

Development Of An Early Warning System For Pathogen Detection In Aquaculture Facilities (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A. (2019, June). Development Of An Early Warning System For Pathogen Detection In Aquaculture Facilities. Presented at Research Conference, Edinburgh Napier University

This project aims to develop an early warning system to monitor the pathogen Neoparamoeba perurans, a free-living and parasitic protist and the causative agent of Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) for the application in aquaculture facilities.

Pathogen detection in bathing waters using microfluidic technology, image processing and deep learning (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A., Muhammad, I., Rueckert, S., & Lawson, A. (2019, June). Pathogen detection in bathing waters using microfluidic technology, image processing and deep learning. Poster presented at Research Conference, Edinburgh Napier University

Monitoring the quality of recreational waters such as beaches and rivers is becoming a global concern to protect human health (e.g. the EU Bathing Water Directive (BWD) in Europe). In Scotland, water quality at 86 designated bathing water sites is as... Read More about Pathogen detection in bathing waters using microfluidic technology, image processing and deep learning.

Optical Fiber Sensor Design for Ground Slope Movement Monitoring for Railway Safety Operations (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hook, D., Laing, W., Kerrouche, A., Barreto Gonzalez, D., & Alwis, L. S. (2018, October). Optical Fiber Sensor Design for Ground Slope Movement Monitoring for Railway Safety Operations. Presented at 17th IEEE SENSORS Conference, New Delhi, India

Scour and slope instability are a major issue in keeping the railway structures safe and operational. Conventional measurement techniques do not allow real-time monitoring of slope movement and/or are time/resource consuming. Novel fiber optic techno...

Towards the Development of New Integrated Ultrasonic Filtration Systems for Monitoring Waterborne Pathogens (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A. (2018, November). Towards the Development of New Integrated Ultrasonic Filtration Systems for Monitoring Waterborne Pathogens. Paper presented at 5th World Congress and Expo on Applied Microbiology, Edinburgh, Scotland

The detection of waterborne pathogens mainly relies on sample processing. This process concentrates large volume of water to very small volume that can be used under microscopes. The current approved concentration techniques are slow, very expensive,...
