Inexpensive and Effective Urban Infrastructure for Measurement and Communications (RFID Europe 2009)

Dr. Evans received his PhD from the University of Waterloo, Canada, where he worked on the scalability of high-performance information delivery systems. Following that he was at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, where his research revolved around the privacy implications of care for those suffering from cognitive impairment.

Since 2006 he has been at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. His work focusses on large-scale distributed systems that maintain the security of data having commercial value and protect the privacy of individuals who contribute personal information. This has been in the context of transportation systems and applications.

Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) is a 60 strong student organisation that designs, build and races solar powered vehicles.

Since their founding in 2007, they have been the UK's number one for solar vehicle development and achieved 2,047km on solar power at the World Solar Challenge in 2015 with their latest vehicle, Evolution.

Their team mission is to inspire as well as innovate. Through exploring new areas of ultra-efficient vehicle technology, they aim to challenge the accepted concept for solar vehicles with their unique design. In addition they provide students at Cambridge University with a learning platform for applied engineering, strategic planning and leadership in the real world.
