Evan Morgan

Evan Morgan is a Researcher at the University of Edinburgh's Edinburgh College of Art, specializing in Design Informatics. His work bridges technical expertise with behavioral research, focusing on data-driven technologies, affective computing, and participatory design approaches.

• PhD in Media and Arts Technology (2016), Queen Mary University of London
• MEng in Biomedical Engineering (2008), Imperial College London

Current research interests include social and behavioral design informatics, with specific focus areas in mixed methods behavioral measurement, human behavior understanding, and design for behavior change. His projects often intersect with climate change mitigation and digital economy through blockchain applications.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in climate change technology (2024), blockchain-based attribution (2024), and human-centered energy systems. Notable grant funding includes AHRC support for Creative Informatics (2018-2024) and University of Edinburgh's EFI Research Award for data education tools.

Scientific contributions span multiple domains:

• Climate Change: Participatory design for climate action
• Blockchain: Non-transferable NFTs and decentralized platforms
• Energy Systems: Behavior-based consumption reduction

Active in public engagement, Morgan has contributed to major exhibitions including ARS Electronica and Edinburgh Science Festival. He applies sensor technologies and digital systems in both creative industries and social care contexts.
