A Rapid Urban De-carbonization Scenario Analysis Tool (2017)
Journal Article
Allen, A., Zakery, S., Mao, Y., & Robinson, D. (2017). A Rapid Urban De-carbonization Scenario Analysis Tool. Procedia Engineering, 198, 826-835. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2017.07.133

A rapid urban de-carbonization scenario analysis tool has been developed. The tool is able to efficiently and effectively generate and populate spatially resolved large scale building scenes, to generate XML input files for the building energy simula...

Thermodynamic entropy as an indicator for urban sustainability? (2017)
Journal Article
Purvis, B., Mao, Y., & Robinson, D. (in press). Thermodynamic entropy as an indicator for urban sustainability?. Procedia Engineering, 198, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2017.07.131

As foci of economic activity, resource consumption, and the production of material waste and pollution, cities represent both a major hurdle and yet also a source of great potential for achieving the goal of sustainability. Motivated by the desire to... Read More about Thermodynamic entropy as an indicator for urban sustainability?.

Ultra-light hierarchical meta-materials on a body-centred cubic lattice (2017)
Journal Article
Rayneau-Kirkhope, D., Mao, Y., & Farr, R. (2017). Ultra-light hierarchical meta-materials on a body-centred cubic lattice. EPL, 119(1), Article 14001. https://doi.org/10.1209/0295-5075/119/14001

Modern fabrication techniques offer the freedom to design and manufacture structures with complex geometry on many lengthscales, offering many potential advantages. For example, fractal/hierarchical struts have been shown to be exceptionally strong a... Read More about Ultra-light hierarchical meta-materials on a body-centred cubic lattice.

Delayed response in the Hawk Dove Game (2017)
Journal Article
Burridge, J., Yu, G., & Mao, Y. (in press). Delayed response in the Hawk Dove Game. European Physical Journal B: Condensed Matter and Complex Systems, 90(13), https://doi.org/10.1140/epjb/e2016-70471-1

We consider a group of agents playing the Hawk-Dove game. These agents have a finite memory of past interactions which they use to optimize their play. By both analytical and numerical approaches, we show that an instability occurs at a critical memo... Read More about Delayed response in the Hawk Dove Game.
