Journal Articles
A comprehensive list of all the papers published by our group (as well as some older papers by Michail) can be found below. Each “doi” link points to the respective article on the website of the Journal it was published. If you do not have access to these Journals, you can download the article of interest from UCL Discovery (the publications repository of UCL), by following the corresponding link. Note, however, that certain publishers impose an embargo period, so not all of our papers can be obtained from UCL Discovery at the moment.
