Chris Myers

Chris J. Myers is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he specializes in asynchronous circuit design and synthetic biology. He earned his B.S. degree in electrical engineering and Chinese history from the California Institute of Technology in 1991, followed by MSEE and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University in 1993 and 1995, respectively. Prior to joining CU Boulder, he served as a professor and associate chair at the University of Utah, where he made significant contributions to the field.With over 180 technical papers to his name and several textbooks, including Asynchronous Circuit Design and Engineering Genetic Circuits, Professor Myers is a recognized leader in his research areas. His work focuses on formal verification of analog/mixed signal circuits, cyber-physical systems, and the modeling and design of genetic circuits. He has received numerous accolades throughout his career, including an NSF CAREER award and best paper awards at prestigious symposiums. As a fellow of the IEEE, he actively participates in editorial boards for various journals related to synthetic biology and engineering. Additionally, Dr. Myers plays a key role in developing standards for systems biology, serving as an editor for the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) standard and chairing several committees related to synthetic biology. Through his courses such as "Engineering Genetic Circuits: Abstraction Methods" and "Modeling and Analysis," he equips students with essential skills for advancing technology in these innovative fields.
