The CDPC congratulates Thomas Dunne on winning two awards at the Exhibition, the Senior Individual Prize and the IBM Award. The IBM Award recognizes the project that best exemplifies collecting data from some aspect of the physical world and using technology to turn that data into intelligence that can be actioned - making some aspect of our world "smarter".
