Biography

From 2008 to 2012 he studied at the University of Texas at Austin, where he was a Researcher at the Automated Design Lab at University. Between 2010 and 2011 he was the Assistant Director of R&D at Humanity+.

He began working on the Transhumanist Technical Roadmap in early 2007 and started a mailing list (No longer active) for discussion. In 2008 progress on the Roadmap was halted. The latest draft was mirrored by the Accelerating Future Wiki until it went down in early-to-mid 2012. An IRC channel for the discussion of the Roadmap, ##hplusroadmap, remains active today. He used to run a mailing list on megascale engineering.

He used to write a blog called 'Transhuman Musings' (Archive.org only).
