Academic Work

My PhD focused on the ways in which machine learning techniques can be used to break down household electricity data into individual appliances. My supervisors were Prof Alex Rogers and Dr Mark Weal, and my PhD was funded by the ALADDIN Project, although my work was more tightly linked to the ORCHID Project.

Disaggregated Homes Blog

I write a blog which covers recent advancements in the field energy disaggregation in both academia and industry. Here are a few of the most interesting posts:

New Forest Cicada Project

I have also worked on the New Forest Cicada Project. The New Forest Cicada is the only cicada native to the UK. During May to July it sings with a very characteristic high-pitched song which is at the limits of human hearing. Sightings of the cicada within the New Forest date back to 1812, but the last unconfirmed sighting was in 2000. However, it's quite likely that colonies remain undiscovered in less visited parts of the forest. The New Forest Cicada Project aims to equip the millions of visitors to the forest with a smart phone app that can detect and recognise the song of the cicada, and hopes to rediscover it in 2013.
