Dr Evan Morgan, Research Software Engineer
Dr Evan Morgan is a Research Software Engineer in Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. He supports innovation through design and application of data driven technologies across multiple research projects. Evan has over 15 years’ experience in multidisciplinary technical, research, and development work; spanning both industry and academia. He completed his PhD in Media and Arts Technology at Queen Mary University of London in 2016, where he investigated the use of sensor technologies (e.g. motion, physiology, eye-tracking) for understanding and enhancing non-verbal interactions between collaborating musicians. He joined Design Informatics in October 2018 after working as a Research Associate on the ENHANCE and IDEAL projects within the School of Informatics, where he helped design interventions for behaviour-based energy reduction.

Qualified Selves: Co-Creating Meaning Post-Big Data
Qualified Selves is a joint project between Lancaster and Edinburgh Universities. Its novel approach to co-design and co-creation has so far allowed for new and exciting prototypes to be developed to help us think about tracking data in different ways.
DECaDE
DECaDE recognises this position and asks what can we do to transform this emerging future economy into one that is fair, that has appropriate governance, and maximises opportunites for everyone to create value. How can decentralised platforms enabled by emerging data-centric technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Ledgers and Blockchain transform our future economy – and the way we work, interact and create value.
Future Infrastructure for Retail Remittances (FIRE)
The FIRE project explores the design requirements for cash-like digital payment systems as part of an efficient and robust payments infrastructure of the future.
GeoPact
Huge benefits in transportation can be gained if Intelligent Transportation Systems such as automated vehicles are enabled to communicate between each other, and their surrounding infrastructure in ways that are simple, reliable, and widely acceptable for human operators. At the same time, it is imperative that the security and privacy of such communications are considered. This project will demonstrate the potential of distributed ledgers such as blockchain as a method of securing the integrity of such systems.
