SAAR Projects:
Creating a Chatbot in Crypto Wallet Using User-Centric Design and Figma Tool"
This project aims to explore integrating User-Centric Design principles and the Figma tool to enhance the user experience within cryptocurrency wallets. This project aligns with the school’s activities in the fields of technology, design, and user experience, and it presents a unique opportunity for York St John University to contribute to the advancement of digital innovation and provide significant benefits to both students and the broader community.
Teachable Machine Using Mixed Reality: A New Educational Paradigm
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) technologies is revolutionizing educational paradigms. This abstract presents a pioneering project that explores the transformative potential of combining Google's Teachable Machine AI with mixed reality environments. By fusing these cutting-edge technologies, we aim to create an innovative educational framework that promises a more engaging and immersive learning experience for the Master level students, at York St John University, London Campus.
In this project, we leverage Teachable Machine's capabilities for learning the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) function to develop AI-driven educational tools.

Learning in a Virtual World: Making Education Fun!
Principle Investigator: Dr Gayathri Karthick
Co-Principle Investigator: Dr Rebecca Balasundaram
In today's world, Universities are using more online tools, especially due to COVID-19. We want to make learning more fun and engaging by using something called the Metaverse, which is like a virtual world from video games. In this virtual world, students can be characters, called avatars, in their classrooms. They can do exciting activities and learn while having fun. Teachers can change lessons in real-time and give feedback tailored to each student. This helps students think better and adapt to new things, which is important for their future jobs. We plan to implement the Machine learning (ML) approach and apply ML algorithms. By working together, teachers and tech experts can create amazing learning experiences for everyone.
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for Prediction, Risk Assessment, and Enhancement of Womb and Fetal Growth to Mitigate Premature Birth of Babies
Principle Investigator: Dr Rebecca Balasundaram
Co-Principle Investigator: Dr Gayathri Karthick
Premature birth is a complex and multifaceted problem with numerous contributing factors, making early prediction and effective risk assessment a challenging endeavor [3]. Traditional methods rely heavily on clinical assessments, which may not capture the full spectrum of underlying factors leading to premature births [4]. This results in missed opportunities for intervention and prevention. Therefore, a comprehensive and data-driven approach is required to accurately predict, assess risks, and intervene effectively to mitigate premature births.
