Dr. Eric Drexler is a researcher concerned with emerging technologies and their consequences for the future.

After presenting the basic concepts of molecular manufacturing in a scientific paper (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981), Dr. Eric Drexler wrote Engines of Creation (1986) to introduce a broad audience to the prospect of advanced nanotechnologies their nature, promise, and dangers and Nanosystems (AAP 1992 Most Outstanding Computer Science Book) to provide a graduate level introduction to the fundamental physical and engineering principles of the field.

Dr. Eric Drexler has lectured in the US, Europe, and Japan to audiences ranging from corporate research laboratories and the World Economic Forum to a satellite linked network of elementary school classes.

In support of U.S. federal policy development, he has provided presentations and briefings to (among others) the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
