He received his BSc and PhD degrees from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, before joining the Sensor Networks Group in Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher. He works in a number of different areas including sensor networks and RFID for wildlife tracking, indoor positioning and structural health monitoring. Previously, Dr. Markham worked as a postdoc on the WildSensing project, which monitored 70 badgers and their environment over the period of a year using a hybrid RFID/Sensor Network approach. During this time, Andrew also developed a technique for automatically evolving sensor network control systems to achieve a particular task (such as target tracking).
