Software development for remote control and communication for a narcotic dependency rehabilitation capsule dispenser (Masters)
|
|
Supervisors:
Tim Gale
,
Paul Turner
Members:
Aman Bajracharya
|
The aim is to develop and evaluate control and communication software for a remote-operated capsule dispenser. The software is to provide an internet enabled user-interface with the capability to remotely control the capsule dispenser and enable doctor-patient interaction and assessment through relevant video and audio streams.

Development of Novel Assessment Techniques for Narcotic Dependency Rehabilitation Patients. (Doctorate)
|
|
Supervisors:
Tim Gale
Members:
Sushil Gopichand Patil
|
The project aims are to perform a pilot study to assess the response of objectively
measured physiological parameters (pupil diameter, patient reaction time and
slurring of speech) to the blood concentration of opioid maintenance medication in
patients on an opioid treatment program.

Modelling of Time Dependent Behaviour in the Lung, based on Micro-Mechanics, Supported by Experimental Studies of Long Duration Pressure-Volume Lung Behaviour (Doctorate)
|
|
Supervisors:
Tim Gale
Members:
Calverly Gerard
|
Review available data from animal & human experiments, reprocessing the data to identify time dependent behaviour in lung pressure-volume relations. Following this, further experiments will be designed and conducted so as to test the findings from the preceding analysis, and to describe factors contributing to time dependent behaviour in human lung pressure-volume behaviour.

Biological Motion of a Robotic Arm (Masters)
|
|
Supervisors:
Bernardo A. León de la Barra
,
Tim Gale
Members:
Caillin Eastwood-Sutherland
|
Can biological motion be reproduced in a robotic arm? That’s what the project aims to find out. Through the use of motion capture and motor control, a robot arm can be programmed to match biological motion. But is it accurate enough?
