Year 2 – Master Thesis (EU COST Action FP1101 Research Team)

My work was composed of the creation of a Decision Support Tool, implementing a Least-Cost & Machine

Learning hybrid methodology to score expert-designed solutions to various issues within historical timber

structures. This tool, ‘TimberSave’, was implemented on the Android native platform, querying a native

SQLite database and JSON parsing from a Server-side MySQL database, via PHP Rest APIs. I presented this

work to a Turkish (Antalya) COST conference, in May 2014, and a Polish (Wroclaw) COST conference, in

September 2015.

Year 1 – Group Project

Our group of three developed a web application, on a LAMP Stack with JQuery, for the tracking of

antipsychotic prescriptions among high-functioning patients, based upon a paper-based equivalent scheme

being introduced in the UK. This could be viewed by patients and doctors. Additionally, we created an

antipsychotic calculator Android app, which could modify this information, was designed for the doctor’s use

only, with relevant login information.
