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.

Development Of An Early Warning System For Pathogen Detection In Aquaculture Facilities (2019)
Presentation / Conference
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. The system is... Read More about Development Of An Early Warning System For Pathogen Detection In Aquaculture Facilities.

Towards the Development of New Integrated Ultrasonic Filtration Systems for Monitoring Waterborne Pathogens (2018)
Presentation / Conference
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,...

Improving the Aesthetics of Photovoltaics Through Use of Coloured Encapsulants (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Hardy, D., Kerrouche, A., Roaf, S. C., & Richards, B. S. (2013, September). Improving the Aesthetics of Photovoltaics Through Use of Coloured Encapsulants. Paper presented at PLEA2013 - 29th Conference, Sustainable Architecture for a Renewable Future, Munich, Germany

Photovoltaics (solar cells) are important in the creation of sustainable architecture, but are difficult to integrate into a wide variety of architectural styles, which is necessary if this technology is to be extensively used. Adding variety to the... Read More about Improving the Aesthetics of Photovoltaics Through Use of Coloured Encapsulants.

Creative use of BIPV materials: barriers and solutions (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Kerrouche, A., Hardy, D., Blekastad, S., Roaf, S., & Richards, B. (2012, September). Creative use of BIPV materials: barriers and solutions. Paper presented at 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Frankfurt, Germany

Inventive use of photovoltaic (PV) materials in architecture can be developed through use of PV in artworks. This is particularly important in increasing the uptake of building-integrated building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), by developing novel...
