Profile

Dr. Mark Gasson is a senior research fellow at the School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading, UK. He obtained his first degree in Cybernetics and Control Engineering in 1998 from the Department of Cybernetics at Reading, and obtained his Ph.D. in 2005 for developing an invasive interface between the nervous system of a human volunteer and a computer system. His current research predominantly focuses on user-centric applications of emerging technologies, with specific focus on pushing the envelope of Human-Machine interaction. In 2009 he demonstrated the privacy issues of creating detailed behavioural profiles using GPS in mobile phones, and also became the first human to be infected by a computer virus using an RFID device implanted in his hand. Mark is passionate about getting young people engaged and excited about science and technology and he aims to generate interest by making the topics accessible and relevant through a variety of activities. He frequently delivers invited public lectures and workshops internationally and has participated in over 100 varied events in the last ten years. He also regularly engages with the national press and other media outlets, including being a guest expert for BBC news, in order to communicate in the widest arena possible.

Hello! FutureEverything 2010 opened with a bang last night, we are all very excited to see it all take off, after all the many months of preparation. During the festival you can use the Community area of the website to stay in touch with people and make arrangements to meet up, do take a minute to update your profile and add your twitter id. I hope you enjoy the festival and that I see you at one of the venues or online.
