“Molecular manufacturing will be
extremely powerful, but very few people know what that really means. We must
understand its projected impact on politics, economics, law, sociology, and the
environment.” – Chris Phoenix
CHRIS PHOENIX, CRN’s
Director of Research, has studied
nanotechnology for
more than 15 years. He obtained his BS in Symbolic Systems and MS in
Computer Science from Stanford University in 1991. From 1991 to 1997, he
worked as an embedded software engineer at Electronics for Imaging. In 1997,
he left the software field to concentrate on dyslexia correction and
research. Since 2000 he has focused on studying and writing
about molecular
manufacturing. Chris is a published author in nanotechnology and
nanomedical research, and maintains close contacts with many leading researchers
in the field.
Chris, who lives in California, is
currently on sabbatical.
