New Horizons in Peer Advice Systems: Developing the Freelance Advisor (2024)
Presentation / Conference
Patrick-Thomson, H., Lawson, A., & Lapok, P. (2024, April). New Horizons in Peer Advice Systems: Developing the Freelance Advisor. Paper presented at Digital Business and Society Consortium, Royal Holloway, University of London

Work in the creative and cultural industries is often seen as “good” because it offers people a chance to earn money while engaged in their passion (McRobbie, 2018), to have autonomy over when, where and how they work (Smith and McKinlay, 2009), and...

Movement Tracking-Based In-Situ Monitoring System for Additive Manufacturing (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Vasantha, G., Aslan, A., Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Thomas, S. (2024). Movement Tracking-Based In-Situ Monitoring System for Additive Manufacturing. In Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing: Establishing Bridges for More Sustainable Manufacturing Systems. Proceedings of FAIM 2023, June 18–22, 2023, Porto, Portugal, Volume 1: Modern Manufacturing (388-398). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-38241-3_44

Monitoring and identification of defects during additive manufacturing is mostly done by bespoke optical or acoustic measurement systems. These in-situ monitoring technologies are either intrusive or sensitive to noisy manufacturing environments. We...

Height Prediction for Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment Planning Using Deep Learning (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Ilyas, M., Ahmad, J., Lawson, A., Khan, J. S., Tahir, A., Adeel, A., …Hussain, A. (2020). Height Prediction for Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment Planning Using Deep Learning. In Advances in Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems (76-85). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-39431-8_8

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.

Build, manage and evaluate: information practices and personal reputations on social media platforms (2019)
Journal Article
Lawson, A., Ryan, F. V., Cruickshank, P., & Hall, H. (2019). Build, manage and evaluate: information practices and personal reputations on social media platforms. Information Research, 24(4),

Introduction. The broad theme of this paper is the use of information to build, manage and evaluate personal reputations. It reports the findings of a study that considered the extent to which social media users replicate in online environments the...

Evolving planar mechanisms for the conceptual stage of mechanical design (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Paechter, B. (2019). Evolving planar mechanisms for the conceptual stage of mechanical design. In GECCO '19: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion (383-384). https://doi.org/10.1145/3319619.3322006

This study presents a method to evolve planar mechanism prototypes using an evolutionary computing approach. Ultimately, the idea is to provide drafts for designers at the conceptual design stage of mechanism design which meet their design brief. The...

Pathogen detection in bathing waters using microfluidic technology, image processing and deep learning (2019)
Presentation / Conference
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.
