In the first person /

Career I am Professor of Ethics & Emerging Technologies at the University of the West of Scotland, where I am also founder and Director of the Creative Futures Institute; a cross-faculty research unit focused on bringing together research perspectives around key questions confronting the future of humanity. Beyond coordinating our submission to the REF2014, my principal role is to nurture the research culture of the Institute, build research capacity and lead research. Qualifications During my first degree I specialized in philosophy and science, while my PhD drew on various intellectual traditions, notably from cultural studies, philosophy of technology, and ethics to examine the human genome project and its implications beyond therapy. It explored the emerging culture of biotechnological body modification, which led to my writing in such areas as medical sociology, digital health studies, biolaw, mediated spectacle, and posthumanism. Impact Throughout my career, I ensured my academic research extends beyond academia. I hold several formal roles with media outlets, notably the Huffington Post for which I write in the USA and the UK. I also interview approximately fortnightly for the world’s media, where some of my most well-received work includes writing for the Washington Post, The Guardian, The Independent, interviewing for Andrew Marr, appearing live on BBC Newsnight, BBC World and BBC News 24. Several broadsheet newspapers and magazines have also written extensive profile pieces on my work, most recently the Spanish national El Pais (2012) and Scotland on Sunday (2012) and I’ve been interviewed by such magazines as Vogue, Wallpaper* and Fortune. I am invited to give public lectures and conference keynotes on a fortnightly basis and I am a regular contributor to science festivals, recently Cheltenham, Edinburgh, Manchester and the Battle of Ideas in London. Over the last 5 years, and I have been invited to over 30 nations and given over 80 funded talks. Often, my involvement around events is drawn together by projects that allow me to influence and shape the work of others and, in turn, for them to inform my trajectory. In this respect, choices about relationships are intimately connected to my own research interests and where I consider there to be gaps in knowledge and understanding. All of my research discusses the intersections of ethics, technology and culture and I have published 150 academic articles in refereed journals, books, magazines, and national media press on the subjects of digital media, medicine, technology, and sport, a selection of which is listed here.

I am a passionate science and technology communicator and prosumer of social media. My personal website receives around 4,000 page views per month and I have over 3,000 followers on Twitter. andymiah.net twitter.com/andymiah facebook.com/andymiah flickr.com/andymiah youtube.com/andymiah “Andy Miah is the Renaissance man of the enhancement enlightenment” H+ Magazine “Andy Miah is no ordinary academic. Part futurologist, part philosopher, his work on the science of sport grew to encompass bioethics, medical law and now covers all aspects of the way technology impacts on human beings” The Scotsman

Major Projects / Beyond my own individually funded research projects, here is an indication of some of the collaborations surrounding my work in recent years. 2012-present: Creative Xchange, an AHRC Knowledge Exchange Hub. I am a member of a community of researchers building partnerships between industry

and academia, interested in the digital economy. 2012-present: Digital Futures 2050, European Commission. Part of the DG for Digital and Info XX, this initiative brings together academics and

industry to consider how convergence in scientific and technological systems around digital technology will affect life

2012: Emoto, Future Everything festival. Emoto was a social media sentiment analysis project focused on content around the

London 2012 Olympic Games. Led by Drew Hemment, I formed part of their research team, providing insights that helped shape the project during the Games.

2010-2012: #media2012, UK associated with the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. An activism project investigating media change, using the Olympics as a vehicle for

promoting citizen journalism. Partnerships included the Abandon Normal Devices festival, FACT Liverpool, Cornerhouse Manchester, the London 2012. It won an award from PODIUM, the London 2012 HE Unit and was shortlisted from over 200 projects for a Pierre de Coubertin award.

2009-2010: Human Enhancement, European Parliament. This project was led by the Rathenau Institute of ETAG on behalf of the European

Paraliament’s Science & Technology Options Assessment unit. It was discussed by MEPs and my contribution focused on the reasons for why human enhancement can enrich society if used responsibly.

2009-present: Abandon Normal Devices, festival of Experimental Cinema and Digital Art This relationship was born out of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, which brought

£3.4m funds to England’s North West. In 2008, I advised the regional creative programmer Debbi Lander via a stakeholder consultation, which led to funding for AND. Subsequently, I contributed to the curatorial community of the festival, advising on exhibitions and chairing the critical salon debates within the festival.

2005-2007: NanoBio-RAISE (Responsible Action on Issues of Society & Ethics), European Union.

This European horizon-scanning project investigated the ethical implications of nanotechnology. My working group focused on the implications for human enhancement and lifestyle body or mental modifications, reporting in December 2007.

2005-2007: Genetics and Sport, The Hastings Center, New York This project was funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency and aimed to examine

how genetic technology would be used within sports, focusing on the ethical dimensions.

2002-2005: Human Enhancement Technologies and Sport, The Hastings Center, New York This project focused on a range of human enhancement technologies relevant to sports

and considered their ethical issues, funded by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
